Brazil Endangered Species

As of November 30th, 2014, the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species™ for BRAZIL lists seven critically endangered mammal species and at least 16 endangered mammal species. As you probably know, Brazil is home to millions of acres of rainforest, many of which are especially threatened by the timber industry and expansion of agriculture and urban areas. As a result, over 300 species in Brazil are endangered including the 16 mammal species. The critically endangered mammal species are the Black-Faced Lion Tamarin, Brazil Arboreal Mouse, Capuchin monkey, Coimbra's Titi monkey, Golden-Rumped Lion Tamarin, Northern Bahian Blond Titi, and Northern Muriqui (Woolly Spider Monkey).
