Description
Czech nature is rich and diverse but there is a list of endangered species. An intense help is framed in document, called an “action plan”, giving basic information and instructions how to treat the most endangered species. It is a special tool containing complex knowledge of species and recommends the measures how to support it. An action plan is suitable for a limited group of species meeting the requirements. For some species it is necessary to decide first if they are appropriate or not. New information is needed. The Little owl (Athene noctua) is a specially protected species therefore an expert document for a decision on the need to prepare its action plan was recommended in the “Conception of Action Plans and Management Plans for Specially Protected Species of Animals and Plants in the Czech Republic”.

The project aims to monitor the occurrence of the species in Southern Bohemia region by field survey. The project outcomes are improving knowledge of little owl occurrence in region Southern Bohemia and preparation of the expert document.
