Fig 1.
Protected areas in seven states of Legal Amazon by year of creation (in parentheses) and type of governance.
Only protected areas larger than 100 km2 and created prior to or in 2008 are shown on maps. Military areas are not shown. Projection: Albers equal-area conic.

Description of the variables.

Accessible and inaccessible areas in seven states of Legal Amazon in 2010, by type of legal protection.
Areas accessible by rivers are not shown in this map. Projection: Albers equal-area conic.
Table 2.
Average treatment effect on the treated (ATT) for accessible protected regions overall, and for accessible strict protection, sustainable use, and indigenous governance areas.
Fig 3.
Regions that avoided and attracted deforestation during the 2009–2014 period.
Only protected areas larger than 100 km2 in territory or created prior to or in 2008 are shown on maps. Military areas are not shown. Projection: Albers equal-area conic.

Standardized mean differences (SMDs) before and after matching for different covariates and periods.
A sample corresponding to a period includes protected areas created prior to that period. Covariate abbreviations on the x-axis are listed in the same order as in Table 1 (refer to Table 1 to link abbreviations with covariate names and descriptions).
