Vol. 2 No. 1 (2012): Assessment of the Conservation Status of Ungulates

#AudioDescription: The cover of this issue of the scientific journal BioBrasil – Brazilian Biodiversity presents as its central theme the “Evaluation of the Conservation Status of Ungulates”, highlighting native species of Brazil in field photographs. The composition is divided into three main images that portray different representatives of Brazilian ungulates in their natural habitat. In the upper left corner, a brown brocket deer (Mazama gouazoubira) stands out against the green background of dense vegetation. The animal is in an alert position, with erect ears, expressing attention to the surrounding environment. On the right side, a narrow dirt trail shelters a group of peccaries (Tayassu pecari), which walk in a line through the cerrado. The image conveys the social behavior of these animals and the importance of their preservation in protected areas. In the lower left, a tapir (Tapirus terrestris) in a peaceful moment, partially submerged in a body of water, with its reflection visible in the calm surface. At the top of the cover is the BioBrasil magazine logo, followed by the subtitle “Biodiversidade Brasileira – Revista Científica”. The ICMBio – Chico Mendes Institute for Biodiversity Conservation logo with the MMA – Ministry of the Environment logo appears in the lower left corner. At the bottom, on a vibrant orange background, the title of the issue reads: “Thematic Issue: Assessment of the Conservation Status of Ungulates – Year 2 – Number 1 – 2012”.
