The brown bear in Slovakia.
Original language description
Unlike in many other European countries, brown bear was never exterminated in Slovakia. The lowest population number was 20 individuals in 1932. Following a hunting ban population recovered by 5-10% per year. Hunting was resumed in 1962, when the population number reached the expected carrying capacity ů 300-400 individuals. Preference of largest, most valuable trophy bears has led to changes in age and sex population structure. Consequently, population numbers further increased to 800-1200 individuals.No human was killed by a bear over the last 50 years despite increasing population density and thus greatening chances for account. Human-bear conflicts should be prevented by following discipline rules in protecting areas, guarding grazing herds of domestic animals, and removal of trash from recreational centers.
