This study focused on native forest remnants in the state of Paraná. Its aim was to map areas of occurrence of the whitelipped peccary. The sources were the collection of information from the conservation units' management plans, from fauna monitoring reports and other scientific papers, and from environmental impact studies among other documents. All of the sources were available for public consultation. Research about the Araucaria Ecological Corridor was also made by the authors. Methods of sampling consisted of an expeditious survey in the study areas, unstructured interviews with land owners and local communities, and observation of vestiges. Historical and current data regarding the species occurrence were collected and places were identified where the species was extinguished locally and where there are still remnant populations.
