The sparsity of post-translocation monitoring data for rehabilitated felids leaves a pressing gap in our current understanding their integration into and use novel landscapes. Remote tools such as GPS collars can provide crucial insights animal movement behavior habitat selection following translocation assist the decision-making process rehabilitation release sites. In January 2023, young male ocelot was released on Osa Peninsula, Costa Rica, after eight months vehicle strike. Six using VHF-enabled collar revealed distinctive spatial patterns between ocelot’s initial exploratory phase (~75 days) subsequent residential period, well agricultural-forest matrix over primary forest. We discuss findings terms learning lessons future post-release effects insight an individual’s anthropogenically modified landscape.

Landscape and ecosystem preservation represents an integrated approach for conserving healthy interconnected ecosystems. In order to maintain high-quality habitats maximising the services is crucial have a good bond between connected areas. On both Romanian European levels, backbone of these areas formed by Natura 2000 networks [1] The objectives our study aim address Biodiversity 2030 Directive, which mandates establishment coherent network protected legal protection at least 30% terrestrial surface each EU country [2]. Currently, Romania has 23% its under protection. To summarise, goal create landscape level Carpathian ecoregion using structural connectivity analyses, course, we will accomplish several secondary before reaching this final goal, such as: identifying classifying connectors, forest patches favourable areas, based on connectivity. ensure maximize services, requires strong connections different
