  Conservation and Taxonomy of Podocarpus (Podocarpaceae) species in the Atlantic Forest, Descrição: Descrição: The Atlantic Forest is home to three species of Podocarpus, P. sellowii Klotzsch ex Endl. and P. transiens (Pilg.) de Laub., and Podocarpus lambertii Klotzsch ex Endl., the first two have been prioritized using the EDGE method. This method determines priority by considering the IUCN category and the species' unique evolutionary history. Podocarpus sellowii occurs in the states of São Paulo, Paraná, Rio de Janeiro, Rio Grande do Sul, and Santa Catarina. The species was assessed as EN (A2c) in 2012 due to a decline inferred to be #8805; 50 (Farjon 2013a). The species was also assessed in 2012 by the Brazilian National Center for the Conservation of Flora (Centro Nacional de Conservação da Flora - CNCFlora) as LC (CNCFlora 2012). However, they considered the species to have a wider geographic distribution, including the Amazon Forest, and the documentation does not provide information on the occurrences used to assess the risk of extinction or the identification of the vouchers used in this assessment. This species was treated and considered a valid name in the Flora Funga of Brazil, with the same geographic distribution used by CNCFlora for their assessment (Dorneles Iganci 2023).Podocarpus transiens occurs in the states of Bahia, Goiás, Minas Gerais, Paraná, and Santa Catarina. The species was assessed as EN (B2ab(ii,iii,v)) in 2011 due to AOO of 250 km, subpopulations being severely fragmented, and an inferred continuous decline (Farjon 2013b). Curiously, the species was not included in the Flora Funga of Brazil. The name is neither recognized as a valid species nor listed as a synonym (Dorneles Iganci 2023). Podocarpus lambertii occurs in Caatinga, Cerrado, Mata Atlântica and Pampa in South, Southeast and Northeast Brazil, this species was assessed as NT by IUCN (Farjon 2013c) and as LC by CNCFlora (2012). These discrepancies between different sources reinforce the need for a taxonomic review of Podocarpus in the Atlantic Forest.The project encompasses taxonomic revision, distribution mapping, niche modelling, threat assessment, extinction risk analysis, creating a research network of conifers in Brazil, and conservation action proposals. Taxonomy revision involves fieldwork, herbarium visits, and data extraction of virtual databases. Distribution mapping and niche modelling will use occurrence data and climatic variables. Threat assessment involves literature review, field observation, voucher labels of samples deposited in herbaria, and questionnaires to field researchers and herbaria curators. Extinction risk analysis follows IUCN Red List criteria. A research network will be created, and a symposium will take place at the Brazilian National Botany Congress. Conservation actions will be proposed based on findings and shared with conservation authorities. We plan to implement these conservation actions in a new phase of the project... , Situação: Em andamento; Natureza: Pesquisa. , Integrantes: Nicole Correia de Barros - Integrante / Elton John de Lírio - Coordenador / Anderson Alves-Araújo - Integrante / Andre Vitor Suzuki - Integrante / Bruna de Paula Stricker - Integrante / Joelcio Freitas - Integrante / Gustavo Santos de Souza - Integrante / Davi Teles - Integrante.
