Abstract

The Triunfo do Xingu Environmental Protection Area (APATX) exhibits the highest deforestation rates within the Brazilian Legal Amazon (BLA) when compared to other protected areas (PAs). Our study, utilizing geospatial and statistical techniques coupled with data from PRODES and Mapbiomas, scrutinized landscape transformations from 2001 to 2022 to assess the efficacy of APATX in curtailing deforestation. The findings underscore that the primary driver of deforestation within APATX was the conversion of land for pasture. The deforestation rates observed within APATX mirrored the broader trend within BLA, with notably higher rates within the São Félix do Xingu area compared to areas outside it, while Altamira exhibited no significant differences. Our study revealed that APATX exhibited a deforestation trend closely aligned with the overall pattern observed in the biome, showing deforestation levels that exceed legally expected values based on available data. This suggests that the PA is responding similarly to the rest of the Brazilian Amazon to the factors driving deforestation. Consequently, APATX, a crucial area for conservation in the Amazon, has failed to effectively curb deforestation in a critical region of agricultural expansion, where the conversion of forests into pastureland is the primary driver of deforestation.
