Direct Impacts of Fire on Vertebrates

The information available in this CSV file represents the identification of vertebrate animals negatively impacted by fire in Brazil (killed by fire or burned). We built a database of images received by firefighters, managers and people directly involved in fighting fires and implementing prescribed burns. Additionally, databases provided by the non-governmental organization (NGO) Onçafari and the Wild Animal Rehabilitation Center (CRAS) of the State of Mato Grosso do Sul (MS) were included, as well as three databases published by partners (available in Tomas et al., 2021; Brack et al., 2024; de França Gomes, 2024), and photographs collected from online news sources displaying such information. We also compiled: i) biome, ii) state, iii) location or name of the Protected Area, iv) fire event (prescribed burn or wildfire), v) class, vi) order, vii) family, viii) species, and ix) body size. Animals were classified into three body size categories: small (less than 1 kg), medium (between 1 kg and 7 kg), and large (greater than 7 kg), based on the average weight of the species. This database is supported by the citizen science initiative and is part of the first collaborator's master's research. Tomas, W. M., Berlinck, C. N., Chiaravalloti, R. M., Faggioni, G.
