Resumo: 	The Neotropical region hosts the greatest diversity of mammals in the world. Western Amazonia, where the State of Acre is located, harbors one of the highest mammalian species diversity in the Neotropics. Mammals are considered important biodiversity components and play a key role in regulating and structuring forest ecosystems. However, there are considerable knowledge gaps regarding species distribution and rich­ness in the Amazon region. This study aims at documenting the medium and large-sized mammal species in Chandless State Park (PEC - Parque Estadual Chandless) giving special attention to those classified as rare or threatened. Four different methods were used in two years of research, 2008 and 2013: linear transect, camera trap, interviews and spoor counts. PEC is highly rich in medium and large-sized mammals in comparison to adjacent conservation units. Fifty-one species were recorded, of which 13 are listed as endangered. Primates, Carnivora and Rodentia were the most species-rich Orders. Because of its high richness and high degree of protection, PEC plays an important role in the protection and conservation of endangered species in a landscape formed by a block of protected areas with different levels of anthropogenic activities.
