Mammals of Reserva Particular do Patrimônio Natural Santuário do Caraça, state of Minas Gerais, Brazil

We present here a compilation of the mammal species associated with the Reserva Particular do Patrimônio Natural (RPPN) Santuário do Caraça. From records confirmed by captures, visual observations, and indirect evidence we list 70 species of mammals, including Alouatta guariba, Chrysocyon brachyurus, Leopardus pardalis, Leopardus wiedii, Pecari tajacu, Puma concolor, Tapirus terrestris and Trinomys moojeni that are considered to be threatened species according to the Red Lists (Minas Gerais, Brazil, IUCN) and nine species endemic to the Atlantic Forest. Our findings reaffirm the importance of the reserve for the conservation of mammals, but also identify areas in need of further investigation, particularly regarding the threatened species
