abstract

A scheme to estimate sites or territories that are perspective or important for preservation and special protection is proposed. The express assessment is considered as a procedure available with minimal special skills and which can be carried out in a few hours or 1–2 days, depending on the tasks of the survey. Express assessment can be performed by a single specialist, but full results can be given by a team of 3-4 experts. When several sites are to be evaluated during only one visit, a 1–2 hour long survey can be considered as the minimum necessary. Some methods of express censuses (e.g. setting up ground traps or camera traps) require at least two visits to the site, which is, in general, possible with the necessary provision of transport and effective route planning.
