As a member of the European Union since 2004, Slovak republic is obligated under the Habitats Directive to monitor, evaluate and report on the status of the Eurasian Lynx (Lynx lynx). However, the information and data reported to the European Commission for the period 2007-2012 and 2013-2018 were not based on robust and systematic monitoring, but only on so-called "expert estimates". These information are nevertheless overlooked by the state administration for a long time, resulting in the presentation of scientifically irrelevant information in the interpretation of the state and size of the lynx population, as well as its impact on the ungulate game population. In winter 2017/2018, a systematic monitoring of the Eurasian lynx with camera traps and the capture-recapture methods was carried out in the Strážovské vrchy Mountains. Population abundance in the study area of 1,145.25 km2 of a suitable habitat was statistically estimated at 11.1 (± 2.86) lynx, representing a population density of 0.97 (± 0.25) lynx per 100 km2 of suitable habitat. In comparison with data available from the official hunting statistics, a total of 121 lynx were estimated in the same area (1,145.25 km2 ) in 59 hunting grounds in 2016, up to 900% overestimation of the actual state. Opportunistic monitoring with camera traps, carried out in the studied area, confirmed the results of deterministic monitoring from 2017, that minimum number of recorded individuals from 2018 to 2020 ranged from 2018 to 2020 ranged from 7 to 9 separated features. From the results of the evaluation of the abundance of hoofed game in the total monitored area in Strážovské vrchy for the years 2016 to 2019, it can be stated that its abundance has been constantly increasing since 2016. Damage in forestry caused by ungulates also increased. Non-compilance with the plan for hunting females and young can be considered as negative aspects that contribute to the increase in number and consequent damage. An appropriate way to address the damage caused by ungulates should be the application of the prevention principle, and provide eliminating their causes, which are the high number of ungulates, stress, misfeeding, etc. The main measure is to reduce their real state to such an extent that they are in line with the standard state, not only in terms of the correct social and age structure of populations. Relevant data of the lynx population size allow for more robust hunting planning for hoofed game breeding and hunting, as they will provide more comprehensive estimates of the number of animals caught in the lynx. At the same time, they will also enable the setting of relevant population management, as well as the evaluation of relations between large carnivores, hoofed game and damage to forest stands or agricultural production.
