Abstract
"Sinite Kamani" Nature Park is located in the eastern part of the Stara Planina Mountains (eastern Bulgaria) and has a relatively poorly studied biodiversity. To study the mammals inhabiting the nature park, a study based on the camera trap method was conducted from 2023 to 2024. A total of 16 mammal species were recorded during the study period, three of which were domesticated. For the first time, a common dormouse was
recorded using camera traps. This study is a continuation of a study also conducted using the camera trap method in 2013-2014. The results of this study, compared with the previous one, will track trends in the development of mammal species in the park and will contribute to their better management.
