Conservation genetics became in the last two decade a useful tool for all decision making in nature conservation. Correct estimation of population size, gene diversity and differentiation of populations and population structures are necessary for all decisions concerning species conservation and/or their management. The Carpathians and a big part of the Balkan Peninsula are for many species considered to be the refuge for their further migration in postglacial period. This is the case of Rupicarpa rupicarpa, which is the species with three different subspecies, Ursus arctos and Cervus elaphus with two different genetic lines. Similar pattern is expected also in other large mammals and/or animal species (fish, birds and insects). Comparative studies of genetic diversity and differentiation of protected and managed wildlife species within the larger areas of Carpathians should serve for decisions concerning their management and conservation practices. Such comparison is necessary especially for brown bear and chamois populations in Slovakia and Romania, where populations of both species with different population sizes and densities occur.
