Resumo
Human-induced climate change are acknowledged as one of the major treats to biodiversity
over the 21 st century. However, species/populations are not equally affected by climate change.
Therefore, identify where and which species are more vulnerable to climate change is
paramount for guide conservation efforts. Hence, I sought to i) evaluate mamall exposure to
climate change and assess the effectiveness of Amazon network of Protected Areas (PAs) in
buffer the impacts of climate change on “critically-exposed” species; ii) develop a spatial
conservation scheme for mammals in the Brazilian Amazon that efficiently identifies highlyexposed
areas within species current and future distributions in which conservation efforts
should be targeted in order to mitigate the impacts of climate change on the biodiversity found
in the Brazilian Amazon. In general, the results indicated that mammals might face high
exposure to climate change and Protected Areas will probably not be efficient enough to avert
impacts of climate change on “critically-exposed” species. In this vein, we hope that our spatial
conservation plan may help planners and stakeholders to guide conservation efforts aiming at
mitigate impacts and avert biodiversity loss due to climate change.
