Testudinidae Several populations of Hermann’s tortoise (Testudo hermanni) have been studied in Serbia, Macedonia, and Montenegro since 2008. Standard capture-mark-recapture (CMR) method was used, and data on populations’ sizes, densities, gender ratios and age structures were collected. The populations under study inhabit different environments and are under various natural influences and different pressures of human presence and activities. Due to the fact that adulthood in Hermann’s tortoise is reached at 10–15 years and the individual growth is slow, recruitment and population recovery rates are low. We present the information concerning Testudo hermanni populations from six localities in three countries: Macedonia – the Prespa lake area (National Park “Galičica”): Konjsko village and the Golem Grad island; Serbia: Pčinja river valley (Landscape of outstanding features), Prolom Banja (tourist destination) and the vicinity of Trstenik; Montenegro: the vicinity of Danilovgrad (empty part of land surrounded by various facilities and a motorway). In total, we processed app. 2,500 individuals. We present the Hermann’s tortoise current conservation status, i.e. list the international and national legislation related to it. To model the future destiny of this species under natural and anthropogenic pressures, we used the Vortex PVA software.
