abstract = "Conficts between forest conservation and socio-economic
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.",
