Organisms use to fill their living space abundantly. Indigenous game like chamois or ibex amplifies ist living space to "substitute biotops". They colonize many medium- elevated mountains which are obviously less suitable. These colonies are able to remain there in spite of the damages they cause to the vegetation because of the ambiguos situation of legislation. A similar legislative problems is the limitation of hunting by hunting- districts as well as by shooting- time in order to regulate game with a large seasonal wandering- area. The residling by elk (Alces alces) in the nowadays cultivated landscape causes ecological and legistic problems, as well as the methodical colonisation and uncontrolled extention of the beaver (Castor fiber). Conflicts of interest between landusers and nature- protection about management and compensation require legal regulations in advance. Such adjustments are also lacking for the conceivable colonisation by exotic ungulates like muntiak (Muntiacus reevisi) that is already present in Austria and the chinesewater- deer (Hydropotes inermis).
