abstract = "In striking contrast to heartening events in the adjacent Amazon,
Brazil's Cerrado biome has seen continued deforestation over the
past decade. Though approved in 2012, no study evaluated the
impacts of new Brazilian Forest Code (FC) revision on biodiversity
and ecosystem services. Here, we report the first assessment of
the likely loss and gain in biodiversity and ecosystem services
expected if the FC is properly enforced across 200 million
hectares of the Cerrado. We also discuss the challenges associated
to compliance with the law and present opportunities for
conservation. Establishing restoration programmes in private
properties with currently less native vegetation than required by
the FC could create habitat for 25% more threatened species than
now found in these places and could also increase water security
and carbon stock in 56.6 MtC. More important, trading
environmental reserve quotas coupled with the strategic expansion
of protected areas on private and public land could definitely
rescue the Cerrado from the brink.",
