Evaluation of the wildlife management practice of Liszt Ferenc International Airport
Main Article Content
Abstract
We investigated the wildlife strike data of years from 1997-2011 of Liszt Ferenc International Airport. The
number of carcasses found on the airport increased till the year 2006, then, after a steep fall it became
stabilized. Most of the strikes/found carcasses indicate presence of bird species, amongst these Common
Kestrel (Falco tinnunculus) and Common Buzzard (Buteo buteo) have a remarkable occurrence. In the
previous five years birds’ trend suggests decreasing, whilst mammalian species’ trend shows upward
tendencies. Its reason is that the continuously growing tool-collection of the utilized management methods is
mainly suitable against bird specie.
