                         Cerrado) are classified as World Biodiversity Hotspots. Our goal 
                         was to analyze the spatial distribution of endangered species in 
                         both habitats within the Mourao River basin, southern Brazil. 
                         Forest remnants were mapped using Landsat 8 satellite images 
                         applying NDVI medium and landscape metrics. Locations of 
                         endangered species were added as an additional layer. The result 
                         was a map of 4015 forest remnants of which 97.66% were smaller 
                         than 50 ha, and 2.34% were larger than 50 ha. A total of 41 
                         species was recorded in the Atlantic Forest fragments of the basin 
                         (total area: 25 502.6 ha), and 32 species in the Brazilian Savanna 
                         (total area: 8.6 ha). The forest fragment with the greatest 
                         richness of endangered species was Lago Azul State Park with 29 
                         species endangered at the state level and six at the national 
                         level. The second and third most species-rich fragments 
                         corresponded to Brazilian Savanna fragments: Cerrado Ecological 
                         Station and Lote 7H. The integration of GIS, landscape metrics and 
                         spatial distribution of endangered species is an important tool 
                         for the identification of priority areas for biodiversity 
                         conservation.",
