Fecha de publicación: | 2011 | Editor: | Associação Brasileira de Ciência Ecológica e Conservação | Citación: | Natureza & Conservação 9(1): 73-78 (2011) | Resumen: | Herein we identified the geographic location of protected areas (PAs) critical for strengthening mammalian conservation in the Brazilian Atlantic Forest Biosphere Reserve (RMBA) by assessing sites of particular importance for mammal diversity using different biodiversity criteria (richness, rarity, vulnerability) and a connectivity index. Although 95% of mammal species were represented by PAs, most of them had less than 10% of their distribution range protected by these areas. A total of 94 critical areas for mammal conservation-representing 49.60% of the total PAs were identified. Most of these areas were located at endangered ecoregions. We recommend that conservationists and policy makers should identify critical areas in order to guarantee biodiversity fluxes among landscapes, and enhance the connectivity between PAs to increase biodiversity protection and conservation. Knowledge about the location of critical areas may encourage managers and policy makers to develop specific programs to strengthen mammal biodiversity protection, especially for threatened species. | URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/10261/143842 | DOI: | 10.4322/natcon.2011.009 | Identificadores: | doi: 10.4322/natcon.2011.009 |
