Lynx, bear and wolf monitoring methods

The methodological recommendations are based on modern methods of large carnivores (bear, lynx and wolf) counting and monitoring on the model territories of the Carpathians and Polissia. The first chapter presents the bioecological features of lynx, bear and wolf and the basics of their identification by the traces of vital activities. In the second chapter, seven basic methods of large carnivore monitoring are given, and attention to their differences in the various conditions of Polissia and the Carpathiansis paid. The third chapter provides some examples and substantiates the importance of synchronized monitoring of large carnivores by different management units to prevent the double-counting of animals.
