What is the regime in the localities with occurrence of European ground squirrel, which the public visits and where the public helps with its protection

In Slovakia, there are localities with the occurrence of European ground squirrel, which are often visited by the general public. These are, for example, the localities of Muráň - Biele Vody or the courtyard of Spiš Castle. Visitors greatly influence the daily routine of ground squirrels, taught them to take food from their hands, and take selfie with individuals. Last but not least, despite the various pitfalls of this regime, they help both in their protection and in the direction of habitat management in these localities in the future. We think in a positive sense.
