abstract

The phenomenon of sharp reduction of number of elk in the Sumy region throughout last 20 years was investigated. On the basis of the found fossil osteological material and historical sources it is established, that this species of hoofed animals exists in investigated territory since Late Pleistocene and till our time. Principal cause of reduction of a livestock of elk is poaching against the natural recession of number. Question on necessity of entering of elk to the Red book of Ukraine was brought up.
