As a member of the European Union since 2004, Slovakia has been obliged 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 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. Current animal populations are causing increasing economic damage to forest stands and agricultural crops. For these reasons, 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. The dominant occurrence in the area of Strážovské vrchy is mainly represented by red deer (4 570 individuals) and roe deer (3 472 individuals). Other ungulate species are represented by wild boars (2,421 individuals), fallow deer (1,833 individuals), and mouflon (1,049 individuals). According to the numbers from the official hunting statistics, the development of damages caused by the ungulates in forestry and agriculture has an increasing character. Of all the damages reported on forest stands in Slovakia, those in Strážovské vrchy Mts. accounted for 0.42 percent. Total damage, including agricultural production, accounted for 0.33 percent of the whole damage in the Slovak Carpathians. Therefore, with the continued increase in the number of ungulates and forest/ agricultural damage as well as irrelevant methods of large carnivores monitoring and their impact on ungulate populations the implementation of a relevant systematic monitoring in the effort and mutual trust of all interest groups is necessary. Previous collaboration of all stakeholders in previous monitoring is an exemplary example of excellent collaboration and an important precedent for future predator-man conflicts.
