mitigation, extinction, threat, regulation, endemismAbstract
This documentary research was developed around the identification of the most relevant effects of climate change on Neotropical wildlife, in addition to relating the main species that have been used for this type of evaluations, the most affected regions and the effect of some of the strategies implemented for the mitigation of this environmental phenomenon. For its development, a systematic review was carried out in different databases such as Google Scholar, Scopus, Web of Science, Springer link, among others, and other sources of information that could contribute significantly in the course of the research. As a result, 69 research studies were identified that highlight climate problems in tropical forests; 18 species studied for this purpose and whose effects have been assessed, and the recognition of Brazil as a regional leader in this type of scientific production. The creation of protected areas, biological corridors, prohibition of hunting and environmental education are among the actions with the greatest mitigating impact.
