                         development in the Brazilian Legal Amazon (BLA) have persisted for 
                         years but the efects of Indigenous territory (ITs) and protected 
                         area (PAs) status on deforestation there remain unclear. To 
                         address this issue, we analysed time-series satellite images and 
                         qualifed annual forest area in the BLA under diferent governance 
                         and management regimes. Between 2000 and 2021, areas classifed as 
                         ITs or PAs increased to cover 52% of forested areas in the BLA 
                         while accounting for only 5% of net forest loss and 12% of gross 
                         forest loss. In the years (20032021) after establishment, gross 
                         forest loss fell 48% in PAs subject to strict protection and 11% 
                         in PAs subject to sustainable use. However, from 2018 to 2021 the 
                         percentage rate of annual gross forest loss in ITs/PAs was twice 
                         that of non-designated areas. Our fndings reveal the vital role 
                         of, and substantial progress achieved by, ITs and PAs in Amazonian 
                         forest conservation as well as the dangers of recent weakening of 
                         Brazils forest policies.",
