             abstract = "The prominent role assumed by Brazil in the global environmental 
                         agenda in recent years has prompted the creation of legal 
                         provisions and the formulation of environmental policies and 
                         instruments aimed at improved and sustainable territorial 
                         governance. Within this context, the Brazilian government 
                         implemented in 2016, with the support of the Forest Investment 
                         Program (FIP), the first systematic and official monitoring 
                         initiative focused on the detection of vegetation suppression 
                         (since 2000) in the Cerrado, the second largest biome in Brazil 
                         and a global biodiversity hotspot. In this study, we assess, based 
                         on sampling procedures and field work, the quality of the PRODES 
                         Cerrado data, which is being generated according to the well-known 
                         and consolidated PRODES Amazonia methodology. Our sample-based 
                         validation indicated an overall accuracy of 93.17 ± 0.89% (in line 
                         with the four fieldworks findings) and that the anthropization 
                         process in the Cerrado surpassed 50% of the biome in 2013, a 
                         situation identified by the PRODES Cerrado only in 2018. Although 
                         this discrepancy, there is a very good convergence between the 
                         PRODES Cerrado data and the sample estimates in more recent years. 
                         In fact, the PRODES Cerrado is a product in process of continuous 
                         improvement, in which the quality of the detected deforestation 
                         increases over the years. Therefore, the PRODES Cerrado monitoring 
                         system is adequate to be used in support of governance instruments 
                         capable of curbing or even zeroing deforestation in the biome, 
                         where, as our study revealed, there are ~104,000 km2 of abandoned 
                         land, which could be used for the expansion of the Brazilian 
                         agricultural production in the coming years.",
