In the frame of LIFE09 NAT/HU/000384 project, focused on the conservation of Saker falcon a restitution of Spermophilus citellus was being carried out at two sites – SKCHVU016 Záhorské Pomoravie and SKCHVU017 Muránska planina. The susliks were being fed to improve the general conditions and increase the survival chance of individuals. Feeding is especially important also because the populations were damaged in the past years by heavy rain.
