Agricultural activities such as small livestock farming and beekeeping in areas where large carnivores are present are subject to appropriate protection measures. The objective of this work is to determine the effectiveness of high electronets in protecting small livestock and beehives and to compare the data with low electronets, which we had assumed to be less effective. In this thesis, we collected data on the recipients of these protection measures and compared them with each other using nonparametric tests. The results showed that high electronets were more effective, especially when used in combination with the support from Slovenia Forest Service staff. When analysing the impact of protection on the frequency of damage events, we found that high-electronets protection significantly reduced the number of damage events on beehives and small livestock. Based on the results, we recommend the further use of high electronets to facilitate coexistence, as well as professional support for users of protection measures, which should also be offere abroad, where they are often confronted with the low effectiveness of the measures in question.
