What is it about?
In order to contribute to conservation and management policies, the first inventory of medium and large mammals in the Biological Reserve of Araucárias was carried out monthly from October 2012 to June 2014. The species were recorded through both direct (visualization, vocalization) and indirect (photographic traps, eschatological material and caught) searches.

Why is it important?
The species richness herein documented highlights the importance of the Araucárias Biological Reserve as a conservation unit. The maintenance of mammal richness mainly depends on inspection by rangers that guarantee the integrity of the species and the habitats present in the reserve, especially forest fragments.
Perspectives
Our results contribute to the knowledge of the mammal diversity of one of the largest remnants ofAraucárias forest in the state of Paraná, warn about existing threats, and provide support for further design of conservation policies.
