abstract = "Maintaining the abundance of carbon stored aboveground in Amazon
forests is central to any comprehensive climate stabilization
strategy. Growing evidence points to indigenous peoples and local
communities (IPLCs) as buffers against large-scale carbon
emissions across a nine-nation network of indigenous territories
(ITs) and protected natural areas (PNAs). Previous studies have
demonstrated a link between indigenous land management and avoided
deforestation, yet few have accounted for forest degradation and
natural disturbancesprocesses that occur without forest clearing
but are increasingly important drivers of biomass loss. Here we
provide a comprehensive accounting of aboveground carbon dynamics
inside and outside Amazon protected lands. Using published data on
changes in aboveground carbon density and forest cover, we track
gains and losses in carbon density from forest conversion and
degradation/disturbance. We find that ITs and PNAs stored more
than one-half (58%; 41,991 MtC) of the regions carbon in 2016 but
were responsible for just 10% (\−130 MtC) of the net change
(\−1,290 MtC). Nevertheless, nearly one-half billion tons
of carbon were lost from both ITs and PNAs (\−434 MtC and
\−423 MtC, respectively), with degradation/disturbance
accounting for >75% of the losses in 7 countries. With
deforestation increasing, and degradation/disturbance a neglected
but significant source of region-wide emissions (47%), our results
suggest that sustained support for IPLC stewardship of Amazon
forests is critical. IPLCs provide a global environmental service
that merits increased political protection and financial support,
particularly if Amazon Basin countries are to achieve their
commitments under the Paris Climate Agreement.",
