Serra do Tabuleiro State Park, located in the central-eastern region of the state of Santa Catarina, in southern Brazil, has 85,000ha and a wide diversity of habitats (mangrove, restinga, dense and mixed rain forest, cloud forest and fields). From 1991 to 2010, 22 studies on its mammalian fauna were conducted, which used the following methods: live trapping (Young and double-door), pitfall traps, nesting boxes, mist nets, camera traps, direct observation and indirect evidence. Seventy-five autochthonous species (about 54% of the terrestrial mammal species known from Santa Catarina), belonging to nine orders and 25 families, were recorded. Fifteen of these species are considered threatened at the state, national or global level. General aspects about the conservation of the mammals in the park, and the possibility of other species occurring in this area, are discussed.
