abstract

The article presents the author's own observations and those of the scientific department staff and PNDV inspectors, as well as the results of scientific projects that have been carried out to study the brown bear, grey wolf, and Eurasian lynx within the territory of the Uzhanskyi National Nature Park. The methods used for the survey and monitoring of large predators are described. Modern methods of survey and monitoring are detailed, including the installation of camera traps and the SMART programme tools. The preliminary results of each of these methods are presented. It is noted that winter surveys remain the primary annual survey method of the population of key mammal species, including large predators.
