Records of threatened birds and mammals in Mato Grosso do Sul State focusing on protected areas

ABSTRACT

We evaluated the records of threatened birds and mammals in protected areas of Mato Grosso do Sul State (Brazil) aiming to build a georeferenced and systematic database to support conservation initiatives. We applied as selection criteria those species occurring in national and global red lists. We recorded 38 bird and 20 mammal species present on the red lists. Our study suggests the need for elaborating strategic plans to conserve threatened species in Mato Grosso do Sul.
