The medium-sized and large mammals of the Cazumbá-Iracema Extractivist Reserve, Acre, Brazil are inventoried. Data were collected using five methods: line transects, opportunistic sightings, camera trapping, hunting calendar, and hunting interviews. In total, 52 species belonging to 27 families were recorded; 11 species are threatened. We discuss the factors, such as hunting, that affect the occurrence of these species. In addition, we document the food taboos for Priodontes maximus (Kerr, 1792) and Dinomys branickii Peters, 1873, two threatened species. The confirmed occurrence of threatened species in the Cazumbá-Iracema Extractivist Reserve makes long-term studies necessary to obtain essential information for the understanding the viability of these populations.
