Status and Trends. Table 1. Status of Bats in Bulgaria: V - vulnerable, NT - not threatened, DD – data deficiency, R – rare (distribution border). Bat species Status - Bulgaria

X. xxxxxx DD 24. Hypsugo savii NT 25. Eptesicus serotinus NT 26. X. xxxxxxxxx DD/ R 27. Nyctalus noctula NT 28. N. leisleri DD 29. N. lasiopterus DD 30. Vespertilio murinus DD 31. Barbastella barbastellus DD 32. Tadarida teniotis DD The assessment of trends is very difficult as there are no quantitative data from the past. For the moment data for the total population size of the different species inhabiting the territory of Bulgaria are not available. No special surveys related to population size estimation were carried out in the period 2000-2003.
Status and Trends. The Fisheries Monitoring Plan will include, but not be limited to, collecting information to assess the status and trends in abundance of fish populations and their habitats (including riparian areas), as well as provide information for restoration actions and for management of fisheries dependent on Klamath Basin fish populations. The Fish Species to be included in the plan are Chinook and coho salmon, steelhead trout, resident rainbow trout, lamprey, suckers, bull trout, xxxxxxxx and eulachon.
Status and Trends. Status and trends of formerly known species are the same as in previous years. The status of new species is not known, obviously, this species is rare in Estonia and probably does not hibernate here (Masing, 2006).
Status and Trends. Increasing interest in knowing better the status and trends of bat populations, out of the idea mentioned in the last report, led to some new, concrete aspects: - In august 2001, the reporter visited Pestera Liliecilor = Bats Cave, on the right shore of the Caras river – Mehedinti Co., about 1 – 1,5 km east from the Carasova locality. From this cave, the former Romanian chrioptelogists (30 years ago) mentioned a large colony (about 5000 mixed individuals) with Miniopterus schreibersii as a dominant species and less individuals of Rhinolophus ferrumequinum. Today (6 – 15 August 2001) this cave is completely free of bats because peoples (especially young ones) use to enter there, remaining over night, visiting rooms and being noisy. But the most disturbant activity is the fire in the cave, bats being forced to leave the roost. - Unfortunately, this situation is not isolated. Different other chiropterologists (e.g. Xxxxxx Xxxxxxxxx in verbis) found similar situations in the Limanu Cave – Dobroudjea in South-Eastern part of Romania. In the first decade of December, there were burned straws and maize stalks, just at the entrance of the cave. The hibernating bat colony moved from one room to another one (deeper), but there were spread out into small groups, still agitated on December 20th 2001. - In Pestera Liliecilor = Bats Cave from Dobroudjea the largest colony of Rhinolophus mehelyi from Romania was destroyed. In the same colony there were individuals of Myotis myotis, M. blythii, M, mystacinus and Plecotus auritus. Because young people used to enter in the cave with torches and thrown with stones and snow balls in the colony of bats, today there are only several individuals of Miniopterus schreibersii mixed with few Rhinolophus mehelyi but no individual of the additional species mentioned above. - The same children’s play, throwing stones in bats, happened in Isverna Cave – Mehedinti Co., as well as in Fusteica Cave – Gorj Co. - In front of the Cave Podul lui Dumnezeu = God’s Garret – Mehedinti Co. outer covers of the wheels were burned and the dense smoke made, determined bats from inside to move away. - On the other side, trying to control the entrance of noisy tourists in the caves, people with best intentions set compact gates, without appropriate spaces to allow the entrance and exit of bats, as in Topolnita Cave – Mehedinti Co. and Tausoarele Cave – in Western Carpathians. These unpleasant but real aspects are enough to understand the status and trend...

Status and Trends. The Austrian Red Data Book was published in 2005, in German, (Xxxxxxxxxxxxx 2005), based on the book “Die Säugetierfauna Österreichs” (Xxxxxxxxxxxxx 2002) which contains distribution maps and research results from 1970–1999.
