Abstract Background Jianfengling on southwestern Hainan Island is sanctuary for a diverse range of wild animals. However, the exact extent mammal species diversity and conservation status in remains largely unknown, despite their crucial role maintaining ecological balance. This study focused distribution Jianfengling, Tropical Rainforest National Park, China. Results The survey, which spans from October 2020 to November 2021, with 41,571 camera days 8,091 independent detections, revealed 15 mammalian belonging 6 orders 10 families. Among these, one was categorized as Critically Endangered, Near Threatened IUCN Red List, two were Endangered or List China’s Vertebrates, five national first-class second-class key protected wildlife. Notably, populations Chinese pangolin (Manis pentadactyla) confirmed persist Jianfengling. In terms relative abundance indices (RAIs) mammals captured by traps, most prevalent identified Asiatic brush-tailed porcupine (Atherurus macrourus), followed boar (Sus scrofa), pallas’s squirrel (Callosciurus erythraeus), muntjac (Muntiacus nigripes). monitoring also significant number domestic dogs, well human disturbances. Conclusion These findings underscore importance conserving these emphasize need efforts protect habitats reduce activities that threaten survival, thereby balance region.
