                         change mitigation and biodiversity conservation depends on 
                         securing its reserves of forest carbon and biodiversity. Brazil's 
                         'Forest Code' is a key tool to reconcile environmental 
                         preservation and agricultural production; it limits deforestation 
                         and requires forest restoration in illegally deforested areas. 
                         However, not all provisions of the law's 2012 revision have yet 
                         been implemented and some are facing new challenges. Using 
                         modelled land use change projections for the whole of the country, 
                         we show that full implementation and enforcement of the law has 
                         the potential to contribute to conserving biodiversity. 
                         Biodiversity outcomes will be especially positive if (i) 
                         deforested areas are restored in ways that support recolonization 
                         by native species and (ii) additional measures are implemented to 
                         protect native vegetation in areas like Caatinga dry forests and 
                         Cerrado savannas, which may experience added pressure displaced 
                         from other regions by Forest Code implementation.",
