abstract = "Brazil hosts the largest expanse of tropical ecosystems within
protected areas (PAs), which shelter biodiversity and support
traditional human populations. We assessed the vulnerability to
climate change of 993 terrestrial and coastal-marine Brazilian PAs
by combining indicators of climatic-change hazard with indicators
of PA resilience (size, native vegetation cover, and probability
of climate-driven vegetation transition). This combination of
indicators allows the identification of broad climate-change
adaptation pathways. Seventeen PAs (20,611 km2) were highly
vulnerable and located mainly in the Atlantic Forest (7 PAs),
Cerrado (6), and the Amazon (4). Two hundred fifty-eight PAs
(756,569 km2), located primarily in Amazonia, had a medium
vulnerability. In the Amazon and western Cerrado, the projected
severe climatic change and probability of climate-driven
vegetation transition drove vulnerability up, despite the
generally good conservation status of PAs. Over 80% of PAs of high
or moderate vulnerability are managed by indigenous populations.
Hence, besides the potential risks to biodiversity, the
traditional knowledge and livelihoods of the people inhabiting
these PAs may be threatened. In at least 870 PAs, primarily in the
Atlantic Forest and Amazon, adaptation could happen with little or
no intervention due to low climate-change hazard, high resilience
status, or both. At least 20 PAs in the Atlantic Forest, Cerrado,
and Amazonia should be targeted for stronger interventions (e.g.,
improvement of ecological connectivity), given their low
resilience status. Despite being a first attempt to link
vulnerability and adaptation in Brazilian PAs, we suggest that
some of the PAs identified as highly or moderately vulnerable
should be prioritized for testing potential adaptation strategies
in the near future.",
