The purpose of this work is to summarize information (both author's and literary) about the sparrowhawk in the Altai Territory and the Altai Republic. With a different nature of stay, the hawk lives throughout the Altai. Tree-nesting species, in its distribution is associated with forest lands, river valleys and wet logs. The limiting factors of the hawk population are senseless shooting by poachers during the hunting period and capture by birders. Sparrowhawk dies on power lines, suffers from pesticides used in agriculture. A preventive measure for the protection of the species is propaganda among the local population about the benefits of the sparrowhawk in nature as a regulator of populations of passerines and other birds. The information obtained can be used to replenish the database and improve regional measures for the protection of biodiversity.
