Abstract

Small mammalian carnivores are playing various important roles in ecosystems by influencing the structure of ecosystem and also providing various ecosystem services. In the present study, the major categories of threats faced by small carnivores were reviewed. This study revealed that biological resource use and land use change are the leading threats for small carnivores. These species need great concern globally, particularly in Southeast Asia and Madagascar. This review has encouraged research and constant monitoring of current status which will be helpful in conservation of small carnivores in future.
