“…The high number of Alliance for Zero Extinction sites in the Atlantic Forest and in the Cerrado may be attributable to the high levels of habitat destruction and endemism in these regions (Myers et al, 2000; Mittermeier et al, 2005), suggesting urgent reactive conservation strategies are needed to safeguard such sites (Brooks et al, 2006). The trends in the policy of protected area creation in Brazil (Cabral & Brito, 2013) and the low human occupation of the Amazon should facilitate the adoption of a proactive conservation strategy to safeguard Alliance for Zero Extinction sites in the Amazon (Brooks et al, 2006).…”

“…At the global level, 22% of Alliance for Zero Extinction sites are protected (Butchart et al, 2012), whereas only 15% of the sites designated for the Brazilian flora are protected, and thus Brazil is lagging behind the global efforts to protect such sites (CBD target 11). Although protected areas have been created in the Atlantic Forest and in the Cerrado they are small, and therefore the increase in the total area protected within these biomes is insignificant (Cabral & Brito, 2013). The present political scenario for improving and expanding the national protected area network is not promising (Bernard et al, 2014; Marques & Peres, 2015).…”

“…This storm of development policies brought financial returns for specific sectors (e.g., agribusiness, investors, banks) but caused extensive modifications to landscape structure, vegetation cover, and aquatic ecosystems (e.g., Agostinho et al, 2016;Brawn, 2017;Lapola et al, 2014;Martinelli et al, 2010). They reduced vegetation formations and biomes (e.g., Atlantic rainforests, savannas, grasslands, dry forests) to a set of small fragments (Cabral & Brito, 2013). Major rivers are now cascades of dams (e.g., Parana´and São Francisco), where natural flow regimes are deeply changed, and the hydropower potential is close to saturation (Agostinho et al, 2016).…”

“…In fact, Brazil was the worst ranked nation in a global assessment of environmental impacts (Bradshaw et al, 2010). This condition contrasts with the fact that Brazil has the largest system of protected areas in the world (Rylands & Brandon, 2005); however, protected areas are limited (few, small and fragmented; Cabral & Brito, 2013) in almost all regions of the country (see maps in Oliveira et al, 2017), leaving terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems vulnerable to large-scale degradation. Moreover, enforcement of environmental laws is difficult, and the licensing system is based on poor scientific standards (e.g., environmental impact assessments, EIAs).…”

“…The number and size of Brazil's PAs increased from the late 1990s to the 2000s and became more substantial and consistent after the establishment of the SNUC law (SNUC 2000) and the Programa Áreas Protegidas da Amazônia (Protected Areas Program of Amazonia; Medeiros et al 2011, Bernard et al 2014. The federal government has changed its PA creation strategy in Brazil since the 1990s, when the number and size of sustainable use PAs began to increase, intending to better align the environmental issues of the country's economic development agenda with biodiversity conservation (Cabral & Brito 2013). Ninety-three instances of PA downgrading, downsizing and degazettement were identified between 1981 and 2012 (Bernard et al 2014).…”
