Abstract

In Austria, the European Green Toad is considered as vulnerable and is listed in the Annex IV of the FFH- directive. The steppe landscape of the Nationalpark Seewinkel is one of the last primary habitat of B. viridis as a pioneer species. My research will provide information about the population dynamics of the European Green toad in it`s natural habitat using capture- recapture methods. It is fundamental to take further action plans for conservation of the species and ensure its persistence in their last remaining primary habitats.
