abstract = "Studies showed that Brazilian Amazon indigenous territories (ITs)
are efficient models for preserving forests by reducing
deforestation, fires, and related carbon emissions. Considering
the importance of ITs for conserving socio-environmental and
cultural diversity and the recent climb in the Brazilian Amazon
deforestation, we used official remote sensing datasets to analyze
deforestation inside and outside indigenous territories within
Brazil's Amazon biome during the 20132021 period. Deforestation
has increased by 129% inside ITs since 2013, followed by an
increase in illegal mining areas. In 20192021, deforestation was
195% higher and 30% farther from the borders towards the interior
of indigenous territories than in previous years (20132018).
Furthermore, about 59% of carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions within
ITs in 20132021 (96 million tons) occurred in the last three years
of analyzed years, revealing the magnitude of increasing
deforestation to climate impacts. Therefore, curbing deforestation
in indigenous territories must be a priority for the Brazilian
government to secure these peoples' land rights, ensure the
forests' protection and regulate the global climate.",
