  1. Petra Nová1, Jaroslav Červený2, Petr Koubek2, Luděk Bufka3, Dana Bartošová4, Jaromír Bláha5 a Pavel Marhoul1 The managament plan for the large carnivores in the Czech Republic 1Agentura ochrany přírody a krajiny ČR Praha, 2Ústav biologie obratlovců AV ČR Brno, 3Správa NP a CHKO Šumava Kašperské Hory, 4Správa CHKO Beskydy Rožnov pod Radhoštěm, 5Hnutí DUHA Brno

  2. Actual state of the project • processing the document suggestions from the Ministry of Environment and project opponents • prepairing for resubmitting to a Ministry of Environment • Project duration: 10 years (expected dates: 2008/9-2017/8)‏ • Project partners: AOPK ČR, UBO AV ČR Brno, DUHA

  3. Project content • taxonomy, distribution, biology, legal status • conservation measures taken recently • major threats • targets of the management plan • plan of actions • success criteria and plan of the realisation

  5. Targets of the management plan To ensure long-term occurence of wolf, brown bear and Eurasian lynx as wild-living animals in the Czech Republic together with minimalization of damages and conflicts caused by these large carnivores. • To achieve at least the area of distribution and population abundance of Eurasian lynx, that would correspond to a recent maximum held in years 1995 – 1996. • To preserve the actual area of distribution and population abundance of wolf and brown bear in the ČR and, in case of their further expansion, to ensure the protection of these animals in newly occupied areas. • To lower negative impact of poaching on large carnivores populations. • To change negative public attitude to large carnivores and involve public in the protection of large carnivores.

  6. Plan of actions 1. Public educational campaign
