They concluded that the biome had a net loss of native vegetation of 5% in 20 years. Between 2000 and 2019, this area decreased from 554,632 km\u00b2 to 527,492 km\u00b2.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Native vegetation now covers 37% of the biome's area and there is a high level of secondary vegetation and many fragmented areas, highlighting the urgency and importance of conserving and restoring the biome.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The country with the greatest proportional loss of native vegetation was Paraguay, with 10,090 km\u00b2 (19.2% of the area existing in 2000), mainly due to the expansion of agricultural and grazing areas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In Argentina, the total loss of native vegetation was approximately 2,106 km\u00b2 (11% of the area in 2000), falling from 19,213 km\u00b2 in 2000 to 17,107 km\u00b2, mainly due to the growth in the area of forest plantations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In Brazil, there was a loss of native vegetation of 14,943 km\u00b2, from 482,772 km\u00b2 to 467,829 km\u00b2. This was the smallest percentage drop in relation to the total area in 2000: 3.1%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Of the total loss of native vegetation, 67% corresponds to loss of forest cover and 33% of non-forest native vegetation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In terms of farming activities, agriculture grew by 67%, from 155,437.86 km\u00b2 to 260,101.2 km\u00b2. And the area of pasture fell by 23%, from 471,871.64 km\u00b2 to 362,827.31 km\u00b2, which indicates an intensification of land use and conversion of pasture areas to agriculture. Another activity that grew a lot was forestry, which more than doubled in area over the last two decades, from 20,928.24 km\u00b2 to 48,230.09 km\u00b2 between 2000 and 2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With a resolution of 30 by 30 meters and 12 classes in the legend, the&nbsp;<strong>MapBiomas Atlantic Forest Collection 1 (2000-2019)<\/strong>&nbsp;covers the 1,422,742 km\u00b2 of the biome that occupies 8% of South America.
