Analysis of seasonal and annual variability of wisent concentration sites, identified as areas with 50% probability of animals’ presence, allowed to indicate most frequented parts of wisents’ home range. Through a comparison of those areas with current<br />forest management plan, selected were forest compartments that are not scheduled for logging or major forest works until the end of the validity of this forest management plan. The joint area of those compartments was approved by the Regional Directorate of State Forests as wisent refuges divided into two zones: (1) a zone for the habitat improvement for wisents, and (2) a zone of particular protection. Additionally, in forest compartments situated within seasonal<br />migration corridors ensured will be the continuity of ecosystems. Bieszczady are the first Natura 2000 site having officially approved refuges for a large mammal.</p>}, journal={European Bison Conservation Newsletter}, author={Perzanowski, Kajetan and Janszczak, Maciej and Wołoszyn-Gałęza, Aleksandra}, year={2009}, month={Sep.}, pages={34–39} }
