Danube, since 1999 they have bred here. In 2002 there are 4 breeding pairs along Danube, 1 breeding pair in VihorlatMts., other 2 possible breeding pairs are near Oravska water reservoir and Latorica river. Breeding is being regularlymonitored. During spring migration few specimens occured on Liptovska Mara (3-4 specimens) water reservoir andOravska water reservoir (8-11).

Within the period 1998-2001 – breeding of 3 pairs on Danube has been recorded in 2001, 2 breeding were not succesfulldue to disturbance by forestry activities and illegal video shooting. Further possible breeding of 1 pair near Oravska waterreservoir and 1 pair near Latorica river, has been recorded. There were 40-50 wintering specimens (30-40) along Danube.

During winter accounting along the Danube organized by State Nature Conservancy of the Slovak Republic -Administration of the Danube Floodplains Protected Landscape Area in cooperation with the Faculty of Natural Sciencesof the Comenius University Bratislava and Hungarian Fertőd – Hanság National Park on 26th January 2002 total of 45specimens have been recorded in section between Bratislava and Ostrihom.

3 Summarise information on population size, trends and distribution (if known):

TRNKA (1997) evaluates the species as breeding, and regular migrating and wintering species in the period 1990 –1997.Number of breeding pairs is estimated on 20 – 40, while the population trend within 1973 to 1994 is evaluated as“moderate decrease of population by 20 to 50 %“ – the statement is adopted from the MURIN et al. (1994).

In Western Slovakia the species bred near the Gabčíkovo a Číčov (HUDEC et al., 1994), KALIVODOVÁ et DAROLOVÁ

evaluate the species as rare and uncommon breeder of Danubian area. At the pr esent time (2000 – 2001) the species wasnot recorded as breeding in Western Slovakia (RÁC in verb.).

In Záhorie Lowland the species bred near Jakubovo (HUDEC et al., 1994), currently breeding of the species is not known.(JUREČEK in verb.). In Eastern Slovakia the species bred more frequently on several sites (Medzibodrožie, inundation areaof the Latorica river Senné-Iňačovce fishpond area and NNR Senné-fishponds (on the both last sites during 1970 – 19853-10 pairs bred annually), in Košice basin 4 -6 pairs bred annually (HUDEC, l.c.). DANKO (1995) evaluated the species inNNR Senné-fishponds and surrounding fishpond area as sporadically breeding in the number of 10 – 11 pairs (in 1975 –1994). Currently the breeding of the species in the same area is expected but exact number is not known (DANKO,KAŇUCH in verb.).

Currently the population of the Great Bustard in Slovakia is represented by 10 nesting hens, wintering populationcomprise of the specimens breeding in Hungary and Austria too, those visit Slovak territories in approximate number of100 specimens. Population in Slovakia is at the critical limit of extinction and it requires supernormal conservationmeasures.

Research - focused on human impact, influence of agricultural activities

Monitorin – regular monitoring within the species range in Slovakia

Habitat protection – guidance on inappropriate agricultural activities (airplane application of pesticides and nutrients,restriction of the isecticides use, guidance on production of inappropriate crops)

Habitat restoration – land rental and planting of native plant communities, restoration of native species of plants andanimals (insects, steppe species)

Other – protection against disturbance on nesting habitats, guidance on hunting, elimination of improper predators onnesting sites.

5 If no activities have been carried out for this species in the reporting period, what has prevented such action being taken?

In the period before year 2000 the habitat protection was not adequately ensured, and/or it was not oriented onestablishment and maintenance of basic habitat reguirements of the species - establishment of permanent wasteland plots.

6 Describe any future activities that are planned for this species:

- habitat protection - long-term land rental and establishment of the wasteland plots on key sites of the speciesoccurrence (nesting and display sites), conservation programme will require consecutive establishment of 2-3pertmanent wasteland plots (of steppe character) with the total area of app. 1000 to1500 ha inside the historicalrange of the species in Slovakia. The established plots will have function of the gene -pool areas for restoration ofthe steppe fauna and flora,

- establishment of the conservation regime to prevent the disturbance on key sites of the species occurence

- conservation and management of the nesting places in accordance to National Recovery Plan for the Great Bustard,Action Plan for the Implementation of the National Biodiversity Strategy, requirements of international treaties etc.

2 Summarise information on population size, trends and distribution (if known):

In the 1970’s, the species has been registered as accidental breeder in the Eastern Slovakia (no estimations on populationsize has been done) and it has been observed regularly in a small number (up to 5 specimens) on migration in the WesternSlovakia as well. Since that time, no more regular registrations are available and in the Western Slovakia they are missingalmost at all. Until this time it is registered only occasionally on migration (1-2 specimens) and almost exclusively in theEastern Slovakia.

However, no special research and/or regular monitoring of the species have been provided, so it is expected, the species isa regular migrant in small number in Slovakia.

Especially due to a small number of specimens only occasionally registered in the country, no special efforts onmonitoring and/or habitat protection activities have been implemented.

5 Describe any future activities that are planned for this species:

There is an effort to monitor the occurrence of the species on appropriate localities especially in the Eastern Slovakia andto prove the regular/irregular migration and probably breeding of the species on these sites.
