Building bridges between environmental and political agendas is essential nowadays in face of the increasing human pressure on natural environments, including wetlands. Wetlands provide critical ecosystem services for humanity can generate a considerable direct or indirect income to local communities. To meet many sustainable development goals, we need move our trajectory from current destructive wiser wetland use. The article contain proposed agenda Pantanal aiming improvement public policy...
Abstract Anthropogenic factors have significantly influenced the frequency, duration, and intensity of meteorological drought in many regions globe, increased frequency wildfires is among most visible consequences human-induced climate change. Despite fire role determining biodiversity outcomes different ecosystems, can cause negative impacts on wildlife. We conducted ground surveys along line transects to estimate first-order impact 2020 vertebrates Pantanal wetland, Brazil. adopted...
Biological invasion is one of the main threats to native biodiversity. For a species become invasive, it must be voluntarily or involuntarily introduced by humans into nonnative habitat. Mammals were among first taxa worldwide for game, meat, and labor, yet number in Neotropics remains unknown. In this data set, we make available occurrence abundance on mammal that (1) transposed geographical barrier (2) Neotropics. Our set composed 73,738 historical current georeferenced records alien which...
Abstract Human‐wildlife coexistence as a concept and management objective has received increasing attention from researchers decision makers. The approach will benefit the recognition that, at broader scales, human‐wildlife interactions (HWI) are best understood managed collaboratively complex systems, that is, dynamic, non‐linear, emergent, adaptive and, therefore, unpredictable. We present planning process for provides platform collaboration between decision‐makers—and other stakeholders...
Abstract We updated the checklist of mammals from Mato Grosso do Sul, Brazil based on primary records only. One hundred and sixty-six mammal species were listed as occurring in state, 47 them being medium to large, small 73 bat species. The are distributed 31 families: Didelphidae (17 spp.), Dasypodidae (7 Myrmecophagidae (2 Cebidae (1 sp.), Callithrichidae Aotidae Pitheciidae Atelidae Leporidae Felidae Canidae (4 Mustelidae (5 Mephitidae Procyonidae Tapiridae Tayassuidae Cervidae Sciuridae...
Abstract The Amazon forest has the highest biodiversity on Earth. However, information Amazonian vertebrate diversity is still deficient and scattered across published, peer‐reviewed, gray literature in unpublished raw data. Camera traps are an effective non‐invasive method of surveying vertebrates, applicable to different scales time space. In this study, we organized standardized camera trap records from regions compile most extensive data set inventories mammal, bird, reptile species ever...
Resumo As áreas de reserva legal (ARLs) são parte fundamental da estratégia brasileira conservação, juntamente com as preservação permanente. ARLs destinadas à manutenção biodiversidade e podem ser manejadas forma sustentável. Quando essas abrigam ecossistemas dependentes fogo pastejo, como os campos nativos savanas, devem adotadas práticas manejo adequadas sua conservação ao enfrentamento dos efeitos das mudanças climáticas globais. No entanto, esse assunto ainda é pouco discutido no...
Abstract Cattle ranching in the ~140,000 km 2 Brazilian Pantanal is considered one of most important cases sustainable use natural resources global south. The region has had a successful history balancing environmental protection with production >3.8 million cattle. However, change, infrastructure projects, and deforestation, threaten Pantanal. Here, using Ostrom's design principles as framework, we interviewed 49 local stakeholders conducted review secondary information aiming to...
Habitat loss is a major reason for population declines and thus increases extinction risk, particularly endemic or specialist species. Protected areas are an important biodiversity conservation strategy in the face of native vegetation conversion, but local regional factors such as anthropogenic pressure can jeopardize their effectiveness. The Pantanal biome one largest inland wetlands world. Currently, only 11% protected, 7% with full protection 4% under sustainable use. However, 14%...
The giant otter (Pteronura brasiliensis) is listed as vulnerable in Brazil, included Appendix I of CITES and classified endangered by the IUCN. In few viable populations persist outside Amazon basin Pantanal wetland. Furthermore, there limited information on distribution abundance existing populations. aim this study was to estimate otters wetland discuss conservation status population. From July 2000 November 2011 we conducted surveys throughout detect occurrence observations active dens...
Abstract Legal reserve areas (LRAs) are a fundamental part of the Brazilian conservation strategy, together with permanent preservation areas. The LRAs intended to maintain biodiversity and can be managed sustainably. When these home ecosystems that depend on fire grazing, such as native grasslands savannas, management practices suitable for their dealing effects global climate change should adopted. However, this subject is still poorly discussed in Brazil, public policies not clear matter....

The Belem Curassow (Crax fasciolata pinima) is one of the most endangered birds in South America, without sightings wild for 40 years. This subspecies nationally and internationally classified as critically close to extinction, suffering from poaching deforestation its range. Here we present new records free-living individuals made on three indigenous lands Pará Maranhão states: part Terra Indígena Mãe Maria, Bom Jesus do Tocantins, Pará; locations within Reserva Biológica Gurupi/Terra Alto...
We report the occurrence of several remnant stands Trithrinax schizophylla Drude in Porto Murtinho municipality, southwestern Mato Grosso do Sul state, Brazil. Until recently, species was considered as probably extinct country. is found only Chaco provinces Argentina, Paraguay, and Bolivia, with a narrow strip region Sul. The one most modified inside Pantanal wetland Brazil, conservation actions are need to protect this other region.

Abstract The Pantanal is considered the largest continuous freshwater wetland in world, and its sustainable use requires a unified conceptual framework. lengthy process to establish public policies has contributed increasing vulnerability of Pantanal. Given need for basis help this process, we elaborate list eight basic principles based on accumulated scientific evidence: (i) Consider Paraguay River Basin management unity; (ii) Establish rules that follow concept restricted approach; (iii)...
Abstract The Upper Paraguay Basin (BAP) is one of the largest river basins in South America, covering three countries: Brazil, Bolivia and Paraguay. In main risks to BAP conservation loss native vegetation. floodplain region BAP, more than 13% vegetation was converted, while surrounding highlands reached over 61% area. These values tend increase, highlighting importance territorial planning for sustainable development region. this sense, we mapped ecological corridors Basin, support...
Apresentamos uma revisão dos diferentes aspectos relacionados aos mamíferos artiodáctilos nativos da Bacia do Alto Paraguai (BAP), área que compreende a planície pantaneira e os planaltos adjacentes, representados por duas espécies família Tayassuidae (Tayassu pecari Pecari tajacu) quatro Cervidae (Blastocerus dichotomus, Mazama americana, gouazoubira Ozotoceros bezoarticus). Embora originalmente estas seis possuíssem ampla distribuição geográfica, atualmente, algumas delas se encontram...
The Scorpion mud turtle (Kinosternon scorpioides) is the chelonian species with largest distribution range in Neotropics. reportedly distributed as two disjunct populations South America: Amazonian and Chacoan populations. We present new records of K. s. scorpioides which represent an expansion distribution, first for Upper Paraguay River basin, Mato Grosso do Sul state, Brazil, well evidence that previously documented area not disjunct.
