There are more than 700 species of mammals in Brazil,[1] and according to the Chico Mendes Institute for Biodiversity Conservation and Brazil's Ministry of the Environment, about 110 species and subspecies are threatened and one is extinct.

[2][3] The Brazilian definition of "threatened species" uses the same criteria and categories established by IUCN.

[4] The Brazilian tapir, the white-lipped peccary, the short-eared dog and many rodents have been included in the list.
