One of the few scientific discussions of the giant armadillo. The most extensive study to
date, recently conducted in Emas National Park, is reported in this paper.

In 2011, Brazil revisited its 1965 Forest Code, which has been a cornerstone in the country's
environmental protection efforts. The current law being revisited requires that landowners in
the Cerrado must maintain 20-35 percent of their land (depending on the state) in a natural
state and that those who had cleared illegally must reforest to that level.

Wide-Ranging Mammals of the Brazilian Cerrado.” PLoS ONE 6, no. 12 (2011).
Results of a field study of the landscape features selected by the giant armadillo, giant
anteater, puma, jaguar, and maned wolf in and around a nature reserve in the Brazilian Cer-
rado. Conservation of these five wide-ranging species will require prioritizing the landscape
features and composition requirements identified in this paper and ensuring that these fea-
tures are maintained, protected, and restored.

All about the effectiveness of using scat detection dogs to study rare wide-ranging mammals
in the Brazilian Cerrado. The distributions of giant armadillos, giant anteaters, pumas, jag-
uars, and maned wolves in and around Emas National Park, in the Brazilian Cerrado, are
also reported.
