Bego, F. 2000.
On the status and distribution of large
carnivores (Mammalia: Carnivora) in Albania.
Article: 1-9.
|
|
This
is a paper on the existing knowledge and the recent data about the status and
distribution of the large carnivores (Ursus arctos, Canis lupus, and Lynx
lynx) in Albania, based upon the last 10 years field trip and work
throughout the country. Each LC species is analysed separately, and for each
species status, distribution, threats to and reasons for species decline are
given and discussed. Some conservation measures to improve LC population are
also proposed. Special attention should be paid to the Lynx, a critically
endangered species in Albania, whose population is estimated at 20-25
individuals. |

Reintroduction of
the lynx in Yugoslavia.

Two separate populations
of lynx live in Yugoslavia. An aboriginal group inhabits the high mountains of
Korab, Sara and Prokletija in the region of Macedonia, Kosova and Montenegro by
the Yugoslav-Albanian border (map). Today, this Balkan population of lynx is
isolated, occupying a territory of about 600,000 ha with an estimated 200 head.
Despite the ban on hunting since 1945, they have not extended their territory.
In March 1973, a group of lynx was reintroduced about 700 km north of there, in
the region of Kocevje forest, 60 km from Ljubljana (gives in the following more
information about the evolution of this reintroduction). |

The aim of this work is
to draw the historic and current distribution (incl. maps) of the lynx in Europe, as well as
the evolution of its progressive extermination described by a few examples. |

The process of
disappearance of the lynx is drawn in general; the latest occurrence of this
carnivore is evidenced in those countries in which it had been extinct; changes
in the area of its distribution in Eureope are described. Articles especially
on the situation in France, Italy, Bulgaria, Hungary, Bohemia and Moravia, and
the Soviet Union. |

On the basis of
specimens collected during 1960 and 1983, of exponates in the Museum of the
Durmitor National Park, as well as on researches carried out in the field, a
survey of the mammalian fauna of the Durmitor National Park, Montenegro,
Yugoslavia, is given. During this studies, 37 species have been registered and
data concerning their taxonomy, biometry, biology and distribution are
presented. |

Distribution of Mammals in
Albania.

|

Some 63 species have been recorded in Albania from 1950 to 1994, with
the exclusion of Cetacea. Another
15 species, including 5 found on the eastern border between Albania and Greece,
are considered probably present. Hence 78 species could occur in Albania. According to lUCN red list of
threatened animals, 8 species are defined as vulnerable,
15 as lower risk and one (the
Mediterranean monk seal) as critically endangered. In Albania, the legal protection of
mammals includes all bat species,
carnivores (except the stone
marten, the red fox
and the wolf), the chamois, the roe
deer and the Mediterranean monk seal. General information on
the distributional pattern and the
population size is reported
for some species, mainly carnivores.
