Abstract

In this study, we recorded and assessed the richness and composition of medium- and large-sized mammals in three protected areas located on Fazenda Campininha, in the municipality of Mogi Guaçu, São Paulo. Sampling was conducted over 12 months, from September 2023 to August 2024, using complementary methods, including direct observations, recording of traces (tracks, feces, carcasses, burrows, among other signs), and compilation of secondary data available in the scientific literature for the region. In total, 21 mammal species were recorded, five of which are classified in some category of threat of extinction. The results highlight the importance of these areas for maintaining regional mammal fauna and reinforce their role in biodiversity conservation in the Cerrado.
