    ABSTRACT
    This study concerns the Western Rhodope Mts. (Southern Bulgaria), their conservationally significant habitats and the carabid beetles occurring in them. The available significant habitats are systematized and the threats to the existence of the important carabid species are assessed. Connections of the carabids with specific habitats and the attachment to particular environmental conditions are discussed. Anthropogenic impact in the area is also assessed. The main threats and problems related to the degradation and destruction of natural habitats and, hence, decreasing the conservation significance of the area, are established.
