Category of conservation concern (IUCN, 2020) – Least Concern<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n
Population size: <\/b>2020: 818 – 1 388 pairs (2007: 1 200 \u2013 1 700 pairs<\/span>)<\/b><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Distribution pattern<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n Widespread in broad-leaved deciduous and mixed primary forests in the mountains. High population density has been found only in Strandzha and in Central Stara Planina. Notably less and locally distributed in the Western Stara Planina, Eastern Stara Planina, Rila, Pirin, Slavyanka, the Rhodopes \/mainly in the northern parts and the border areas\/, Belasitsa and Osogovo.<\/span><\/p>\n Population estimation for the period 2013 – 2020: <\/b>During the period 2013-2020, the species was not established in 43 squares 10X10 km indicated in the previous report. Most of them were in Western Stara Planina, Pirin and Rila. In fact, it can assumed that in these mountains there indeed is a tendency in the reduction in the number and the distribution of the White-Backed Woodpecker, as they have been subject of many targeted studies in recent years. The species has been established in 37 new squares, mainly in Sredna Gora, Stara Planina and the Rhodopes. In these mountains, the breeding of the species shows stable numbers and the new sites reflect the depth of the field research during the period.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Population size in Special Protection Areas of Natura 2000:<\/b> 674 – 1101 pairs (80% of the national population). The highest number have been registered in the following <\/span>Special Protection<\/span> Areas: \u201cStrandzha\u201d (235-367 pairs), \u201cCentral Balkan\u201d(130-207 pairs), \u201cSredna Gora\u201d (70-106 pairs), \u201cBulgarka\u201d (46-67 pairs), \u201cWestern Rhodopes\u201d (44-74 pairs), and \u201cCentral Balkan Buffer\u201d (40 \u2013 72 pairs).<\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_code _builder_version=”4.9.10″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”]
