Monitoring
- Monitoring protocols for all three species (in line with strategic documents) - Regular monitoring, using all available data (centralised data base at ZGS):
- mortality data; - contact events (112); - damage events; - damage compensation data (MOP/ARSO); - occasional observations; - special methods (e. g. howling …); - telemetry; - organised counting on counting places; - genetic counting (every 5 – 10 years);
- Modelling of population, genetic methods (Biotechnical Faculty);
