             abstract = "This study investigates the main threats related to environmental 
                         degradation that affect Amazonian Indigenous Lands (ILs). Through 
                         a cluster analysis, we group ILs according to the set of common 
                         environmental threats that occur within and outside their limits. 
                         The results show that most of the 383 ILs are affected internally 
                         by a combination of different environmental threats, namely: 
                         deforestation, forest degradation, fires, mining, croplands, 
                         pastures, and roads. However, the ILs affected by multiple and 
                         relatively severe threats are mainly located in the arc of 
                         deforestation and the Roraima state. The threats related to forest 
                         loss (deforestation, forest degradation, and fires) are more 
                         intense in the ILs buffer zones than within, showing that ILs 
                         effectively promote environmental preservation. In the cluster 
                         analysis, we identified seven clusters that are characterized by 
                         common environmental threats within and around their limits, and, 
                         based on these results, we have outlined four environmental policy 
                         priorities to be strengthened and applied in Amazonian ILs: 
                         protecting ILs buffer zones; strengthening surveillance actions, 
                         and combating illegal deforestation, forest degradation, and 
                         mining activities in ILs; preventing and fighting fires; and 
                         removing invaders from all ILs in the Amazon. In this study, we 
                         warn that the threats presented make the Indigenous peoples in the 
                         Amazon more vulnerable. To guarantee indigenous peoples rights, 
                         illegal actions in these territories and their surroundings must 
                         be contained, and quickly.",
