             abstract = "The Cerrado biome in Brazil is a tropical savanna and an important 
                         global biodiversity hot spot. Today, only a fraction of its 
                         original area remains undisturbed, and this habitat is at risk of 
                         conversion to agriculture, especially to soybeans. Here, we 
                         present the first quantitative analysis of expanding the Soy 
                         Moratorium (SoyM) from the Brazilian Amazon to the Cerrado biome. 
                         The SoyM expansion to the Cerrado would prevent the direct 
                         conversion of 3.6 million ha of native vegetation to soybeans by 
                         2050. Nationally, this would require a reduction in soybean area 
                         of approximately 2%. Relative risk of future native vegetation 
                         conversion for soybeans would be driven by the Brazilian domestic 
                         market, China, and the European Union. We conclude that, to 
                         preserve the Cerrados biodiversity and ecosystem services, urgent 
                         action is required, including a zero native vegetation conversion 
                         agreement such as the SoyM.",
