Introduction:

The Golden Jackal (Canis aureus, Fig. 1) population inhabiting the area of Samos International Airport “Aristarchos of Samos”, Greece, and the surrounding area has been confirmed as a potential risk for flight safety during the past years. An exclusion process from the airport installations and runways was initiated as a priority measure taking into account the welfare and conservation of this population.
