In the present study, we investigated the importance of mutualistic networks between plants and ani-mals for the maintenance of endangered tree species in southern Bahia. About 82% of the tree species under study are dispersed by animals, have an average diameter of 16.89 mm and their main dispers-ers are birds, primates and rodents (pacas). We reveal an intense relationship between endangered tree species in southern Bahia and seed-dispersing animals. The species in question already have threats inherent to their individual characteristics, but we demonstrate that one more factor can be added to these threats, the extinction of large seed dispersers.
