Traditional international meeting on game management was organized on 22th November 2012 in Velenje by members of the project team. Chamois is one of the most important game species in Slovenia and has an important role in Slovenian hunting. During meeting, the most important results from chamois research in Slovenia and abroad were presented together with experiences from chamois management. In addition, main priorities of the future research on wildlife were indicated, as well as potential improvements for management and monitoring (including presentation on the variability of chamois and roe deer body masses as the main bioindicator used in the adaptive management of both species). Since the target audience were primarily hunters, the meeting importantly contributed to the motivation of hunters to participate in data collection and data transmission, as well as to their interest for direct cooperation in wildlife research. Data collected by hunters are not only an important source of information for scientific purposes (including this project); indeed, they provide also essential input information in the control method of effective adaptive management as well as its improvement in the future.

COBISS.SI-ID: 3604858In the chapter in the extensive monographic publication, intended for hunters and other interested end-users, basic facts on wildlife ecology (including presentation of the control methods and a variety of indicators, which are used in it) are presented. The contribution is of great importance for the education of all of the target public, as it is published in, so far, the most extensive, comprehensive and qualitative monograph (634 pp.) in the field of wildlife and hunting in Slovenia, which will be with its remarkable circulation (30,000 pieces) available to the widest audience in Slovenia as well as abroad.
