In the last few years, one of the most frequent discussion topics among hunters was decreased number of small game animals, including the grey partridge (Perdix perdix). Specialized magazines are full of articles concerning this topic, experts conduct numerous researches and try to create guidelines for hunters and farmers that would help to stabilize the number of small animals. This thesis deals with a certain type of small game animals that is currently represented by the smallest population number in our environment. Every year there is a decrease in the number of families detected during spring surveys. The first part of this thesis deals with a general knowledge about the species, such as its scientific classification, description, habitat, food, a way of life, distribution, development and current population status, how environment, predators, and anthropogenic factors affect partridges. The second part deals with protection of the species, protection of the current population, living conditions improvement, protection against diseases and enemies and care of partridges in the time of nesting and in winter. This thesis includes also methods of release for either repatriation of the species with a goal of freshening up the blood or of increasing the density of specimen or restitution of the species on the places where partridges are not present at all. The results and final discussion describe specific methods used for artificial rearing of partridges as they were set forth by various authors. This chapter includes also personal experience with artificial rearing and releases of artificially reared partridges into their natural environment.
