                         its population and economy, via hydrologic and climatic 
                         regulation, among other benefits. Currently, only 25% of the 
                         original forest cover (24.7 thousand km2) remains while illegal 
                         deforestation persists in a violent process that provokes visible 
                         social, economic and environmental harm. Simultaneously, 
                         Maranh{\~a}o has seen record levels of burning, faces a water 
                         shortage and fights against the worst social and economic 
                         indicators in the country. Conversely, secondary vegetation covers 
                         19.9 thousand km2 (27% of deforested area) and is completely 
                         unprotected. Contrary to the international commitments assumed by 
                         Brazil to combat deforestation and restore forests, some of the 
                         political representatives of Maranh{\~a}o have sought legal 
                         mechanisms to further diminish forest cover in public and private 
                         areas. To promote the conservation and restoration of 
                         Maranh{\~a}o Amazon Forest, a multi-institutional network of 
                         researchers was established in 2015. This viewpoint paper aims to 
                         draw attention to this endangered region of the Brazilian Amazon 
                         and give science-oriented recommendations to policy makers in 
                         order to avoid more setbacks. We argue that Maranh{\~a}o state 
                         must urgently establish a policy of Zero Deforestation, protect 
                         secondary forests and comply with the national forest restoration 
                         policy, thus ensuring long-term economic sustainability.",
