Threats, Distribution, MargayAbstract
Data related to the distribution and threats to Leopardus wiedii in the state of Ceará were not well elucidated. Thus, the present study aimed to update such information. From the Minimum Convex Polygon (MPC) method, it can be concluded that the species is present in Ceará only in the Massif of Baturité. In addition, there was a population decline greater than 50%, so it was categorized as Endangered (EN).
