In this chapter, we present a review of all publications available and unpublished information of our own on both hierarchical and nonhierarchical estimates of the abundance, density, and habitat occupancy of native ungulate populations in the Greater Maya Forest, which is shared by southeastern Mexico, Northern Guatemala, and Belize. The white-lipped peccary (Tayassu pecari) and the collared peccary (Pecari tajacu) have been the most frequent objects of study within protected areas in this region, followed by Baird’s tapir (Tapirus bairdii), white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus), red brocket deer (Mazama temama), and Yucatan brown brocket deer (M. pandora). Occupancy and density assessments for all species are still scarce compared to population abundance. More information on the abundance, density, and occupancy of all species, but particularly the red brocket deer and the Yucatan brown brocket deer, is needed outside the largest protected areas in the Maya Forest.
