abstract	Data on dynamics of population and distribution of the wildcat and in the Uzhansky National Nature Park from since its creation (2001–2016) are presented. Results of census of this species are analysed. The abundance of the wildcat became critical on the territory of the park in the beginning of the 20th century. Significant increase in its abundance has been noticed since 2007. The most important factors threatening the existence of species were analysed and it was established that the greatest threats for the species are poaching and conflicts with the locals. The creation of the national park improved conditions for the existence of the wildcat in the territory and for conservation of the species in general. There are favourable natural conditions and rich feeding base for existence of this mammal in the park.
keywords	wildcat, state of population, abundance, current distribution, habitats, existence threats.
