  • Descrição: Zoque Forest is one of the richest and threatened regions in Southeastern Mexico, and for which few studies on mammal biology and use are available. Here we analyzed the conservation status of mammalian species according to Mexican and international laws, with an updated checklist of mammals in this forest, and some information on their use by some rural communities. Basic information was obtained from national and international collections and publications. A total of 42 fieldtrips, that followed conventional techniques, were conducted from 2003 through 2010, and some questionnaires to local hunters were applied. The mammalian fauna found in the area was composed of 149 species belonging to 99 genera and 30 families; these results support that the Zoque Forest is the richest in the number of mammalian species in Mexico. A total of 35 species were considered at risk by the Mexican National Law NOM-059-SEMARNAT-2010, and 21 species were found to be registered in the IUCN Red List or in CITES. Of the 40 species included in any of the lists, only the Baud's tapir, jaguar and white-lipped peccary were included in all three lists and 14 species were shared by the two of them. The main uses of mammals in order of importance are: 1) bushmeat, 2) pets, 3) skins, and 4) traditional medicine. Subsistence hunting and trade are unofficially allowed for farmers in this area. As for now, the region has healthy populations of a large number of mammals even though they have been used by local residents. However, since a considerable number of these species are listed under some criterion of threat, local authorities are called for more control.Original Abstract: En el sureste de Mexico, la Selva Zoque es conside-rada la segunda mayor extension de selvas y bosques bien conservados al norte de Mesoamerica. En este estudio se presenta una lista actualizada de los mamiferos de esta region. Analizamos el estado de riesgo de los mamiferos de acuerdo a las leyes Mexicanas e internacionales, y se evaluo el uso que las comunidades rurales les dan. La informacion se obtuvo de bases de datos de colecciones nacionales e internacionales y publicaciones; asimismo, se realizo trabajo de campo a partir del 2003 hasta el 2010, siguiendo tecnicas convencionales. La mastofauna de la region esta compuesta de 149 especies, que pertenecen a 99 generos y 30 familias. Esta gran riqueza de mami'feros senala a la Selva Zoque como la region mas rica de especies en Mexico. En la region se localizan 35 especies registradas en la Norma 059, ademas de otras 21 registradas en la lista roja de la IUCN o en CITES. De las 40 especies incluidas en alguna de las listas, solamente el tapir, el jaguar y el pecan' de labios blancos se incluyen en las tres listas y 14 especies son compartidas por dos de ellas. Los principales usos que se les da a los mamfferos en orden de importancia son: 1) carne de monte, 2) mascotas, 3) pieles y 4) medicina tradicional. La cacen'a de subsistencia y su comercio estan permitidas extraoficialmente para los campesinos de esta zona. Esta region aun posee poblaciones saludables de una gran cantidad de mami'feros utilizados por los pobladores locales; sin embargo, un gran niimero de estas se encuen-tran enlistadas bajo algiin criterio de riesgo.
