Study on wild animals’ dynamics on 65 Giera hunting area from Timis County

Abstract

After Romania joined the European Union, the hunting populations must be managed much more carefully, ensuring a much increased vigilance. The animals’ population can be characterized by the observed size, which is opposed to the genetic size, being given by the number of individuals from all animal categories and by the total number of males and females participating in the production of the descendant generation. This study aimed to analyze the quantitative evolution of 13 wildlife populations taking into consideration the environmental conditions, on the background of hunting 65 Giera, between 2018 and 2022, thus contributing to the knowledge of the hunting heritage in Timiș County with a total area of 12.386 ha, for sustainable management and conservation. Thus, this study recommends the revival of the existing population in this hunting area, through “blood refreshing” actions, as well as the permanent monitoring and limitation of populations from the Canidae family, especially of the Jackal (Canis aureus L.) species, and the Red Fox (Vulpes vulpes L.) species.
