Resumo
Fragmentation and habitat loss threaten primate species, even in protected areas, all over the globe.
In the most primate rich biome, the Brazilian Amazonia, there are currently 16 primates threatened
by extinction. We measured how much suitable area these primates are losing due to deforestation,
and the potential protection that Conservation Units (Brazilian official Protected Areas- PAs) and
Indigenous Lands (ILs) may provide. We built distribution models and calculated established three
distribution measures; the potential (the raw model), the real (potential – current deforested area),
and the future (real – expected area to be deforested) distributions. We made a gap analysis
overlapping these distributions with PAs and ILs in three scenarios; (1) Integral Protection Units
(IPs) only; (2) IPs + Sustainable Use Units (SUs); and (3) IPs + SUs + ILs. We calculated the
minimum primate area that should be overlapped with potential protected areas so species would
be considered conserved (conservation goals) and tested each primate goal`s achievement in every
scenario. Two primates do not reach their goals in scenario 3. However regarding real and future
distributions, SUs increases the achieved goals by IPs in more than 120% in average. ILs increases
the achieved goals by Pas in more than 75%. We conclude that SUs and ILs alone would be
potentially better protection areas than IPs (which were designed specifically fore conservation
purposes), and that including ILs in the official protected areas of Brazil would be a great advance
on Amazonian threatened species conservation.
