Reliable data on wildlife populations are the foundation of effective nature conservation and sustainable management. Camera traps<\/strong> have become a well-established non-invasive research method, allowing researchers to monitor the distribution, abundance, activity, and behavior of wild animals in their natural habitats.<\/p>\n

Monitoring wildlife populations\u2014whether game or protected species\u2014is an essential part of modern conservation and scientifically informed population management.<\/p>\n

In the Veliki Vrh area<\/strong>, within the Oljka hunting ground<\/strong>, FVO researchers captured images of a roe deer with an injury to its left eye, resulting in partial vision loss. Despite this physical limitation, the footage demonstrates the individual\u2019s remarkable adaptability to its environment.<\/p>\n

The recording was made as part of ongoing wildlife monitoring using camera traps, conducted within the framework of the international projects Big_Picture (Biodiversa)<\/strong><\/a> and European Observatory of Wildlife (EOW)<\/strong><\/a>. These projects enable the collection of comparable data across Europe and contribute to a better understanding of ecological processes and wildlife adaptations to environmental conditions.<\/p>\n
