OČUVANJE EKOSISTEMA PTIČJIH VRSTA NA JUGU BOSNE I HERCEGOVINE
<p>The bird fauna of southern Bosnia and Herzegovina, extending to the tri-border area of Bosnia and Herzegovina, Montenegro, and Croatia, was studied. The habitats and migrations were analyzed over a five-year period with the aim of long-term monitoring and protection of species. The methods used for monitoring, marking, recording, and data processing included: the kilometer transect method, point census, free-route field surveys, and the “playback” method. Previous studies of bird fauna in this park were analyzed in order to synthesize results.The main results obtained from field research include a systematized list of bird species and maps indicating key nesting habitats. The results will contribute to stakeholders’ efforts to protect species and secure habitats in this area.</p>
