Abstract
Significance of Protected Areas for the Pallas's cat (Otocolobus manul: Felidae) conservation in Russi
Highlights
The Pallas’s сat or Manul, Otocolobus manul Pallas, 1776, belongs to the small cats (Fig. 1)
We used our own data obtained during field studies of the Manul in the Republic of Altai, Republic of Tyva, Republic of Buryatia, Trans-Baikal Krai in 1994–2017, and unpublished data from the online database «Small Wild Cats of Eurasia» (Barashkova et al, 2017)
The Protected Areas networks are more or less well-developed in these regions
Summary
The Pallas’s сat or Manul, Otocolobus manul Pallas, 1776, belongs to the small cats (Fig. 1). Since its inclusion in the Red Data Book of the USSR (1978, 1984), the Pallas’s cat’s hunting was banned completely This effort has reduced the anthropogenic pressure on the species. Expert estimates of the abundance of the Pallas’s cat in the regions were conducted These data were included in the first edition of the Red Data Book of the Russian Federation (2001). The distribution and abundance of the Pallas’s cat in Russia are systematically studied in the framework of a long-term project of the Sibecocenter in cooperation with the Daursky Reserve, the Uvs Nuur. Some reserves and national parks have established the monitoring studies of abundance and occurrence frequency of the Pallas’s cat using the method of winter snow track census and the systematic installation of camera traps.
