Hungarian Game Management Database
The establishment and application of the Hungarian Game Management Database (OVA) were mandated by the Act LV/1996 (VI.16) on the protection of wildlife, wildlife management, and hunting. The operation of the OVA has been carried out since 1993 by the Department of Wildlife Biology and Game Management at the Hungarian University of Agriculture and Life Sciences. The system's development has always aimed to meet the goals set out in the law: storage and processing of data on the game population (population estimation, wildlife management plan and report, trophy assessment); visualization of stored data on maps; provision of data for tasks arising in wildlife management and planning; storage of data from wildlife management plans. The Hungarian Game Management Database, in addition to continuous development, performs daily data reporting. Many of the data and maps needed for wildlife management plans were obtained by planners and wildlife managers from the Database. Daily tasks also include providing data for the work of wildlife management authorities and performing analyses. The Database also provides data for educational and research purposes.
