According to the latest count, there are 786 chamois across the Tatra range, 43 more than a year ago.
The total includes 95 young, accounting for 12.1 percent of the population.
In the Polish section of the Tatras, 335 chamois were counted, including 47 young, representing 14 percent of the local population.
"This is the highest proportion of young in the overall chamois population since 2021, which gives us reason for cautious optimism," the Tatra National Park said in a report.
According to park naturalists, the chamois population across the entire mountain range stood at 989 in 2018 and 972 in 2020.
The first coordinated count of Tatra chamois was carried out in 1954. Three years later, Slovak conservationists joined their Polish counterparts in the survey.
The animals are counted twice a year, in spring and autumn. The spring census focuses on the number of young, while the autumn survey is used to estimate the overall population.
The Tatra chamois is a protected species that lives in small herds led by an experienced female.
