摘要: Abstract Reliable population and density estimates are the cornerstone of effective conservation management planning, as priorities often arise in relation to numbers. Despite increased public interest costly programs limited information on brown bear ( Ursus arctos , Linnaeus, 1758) abundance Greece exists. We carried out systematic non-invasive genetic sampling using hair traps power poles, part a capture-mark-recapture study design order rigorously estimate Pindos Greece. From 2007–2010 we identified 211 estimated mean 182.3 individuals four areas; densities ranged from 10.0 54 bears/1000 km 2 . These results indicate an important recovery this large carnivore recent years; conservative would place size entire country >450 individuals. Considering negative interactions between humans bears recorded currently Greece, suggest that monitoring poles should continue collect necessary will enable definition Action Plan for long-term species.
