Abstract

A study to ascertain the status of lowland tapir in southeastern Brazil is being undertaken by IBIAUARA – Biodiversity Research Group of Minas Gerais State in Brazil. The aim of this study was to evaluate the distribution of lowland tapir along the elevational gradient of Serra do Caraça, and to investigate habitat use by this species in different vegetation and its relationships with water courses.
