Field studies and collection of material on the present state of wolf, bear and lynx populations in the Ukrainian Carpathians were conducted during January-August 2001. Fifteen wolf's lairs and twenty-four individual territories of wolf's packs were recorded. Eight individual territories of lynx and fifteen of bear were mapped. Taking into consideration own observations, we consider the number of wolves to be stable on the territory of Lvivska province, even considering permanent hunting. The state of lynx population in Lvivska province is not satisfactory and comprises only 15-20 specimens. Recent studies show the vulnerable state of the bear population, which could disappear within next 5-7 years. It is highly necessary to create new protected areas and provide a long-termed monitoring in order to conserve aborigines populations of lynx and bear.
