Fig. 4. — At the (A) national level, native vegetation covers most of Brazil’s 1-km (76.4%) and 5-km (90.1%) RLRL areas, with 35.6% of 1-km RLRL areas and 56.8% of 5-km RLRL areas covered by protected native vegetation. However, the level of (B) the Amazon’s native vegetation cover of its 1- and 5-km RLRL areas as well as their high protection levels skew the (A) national statistics. While the native vegetation coverage of the RLRL areas varies for each of Brazil’s other five biomes (C to G), the native vegetation that exists in their RLRL areas is left overwhelmingly unprotected (tables S33 to S44).
