More than half of all the deforested area in Brazil in 2023 occurred in the biome, mainly in the Matopiba region between Bahia, Piau\u00ed, Tocantins and Maranh\u00e3o<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Cerrado's leadership in terms of deforestation area in 2023 is reflected in other indicators, according to the Annual Report on Deforestation 2023. It is in the Cerrado, for example, that Brazil's largest deforestation alert is located: an area of 6,691 hectares, in the municipality of Alto Parna\u00edba (MA). It is also where the alert with the highest average daily speed was detected: 944 hectares in 8 days, in the municipality of Baixa Grande do Ribeiro (PI).  More than half of the entire area deforested in Brazil in 2023 was in the biome<\/a>mainly in the Matopiba region between Bahia, Piau\u00ed, Tocantins and Maranh\u00e3o.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Cerrado is home to the Indigenous Territory (TI) with the largest deforested area in the country last year: Porquinhos dos Canela-Ap\u00e3njekra, with around 2,750 hectares. In all, 7,048 hectares of native vegetation were lost in Indigenous Lands in the Cerrado, an increase of 188% compared to 2022. Throughout Brazil, on the other hand, there was a drop in deforestation in Indigenous Lands. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A mesma invers\u00e3o de tend\u00eancia foi constatada em territ\u00f3rios quilombolas (TQs) e Unidades de Conserva\u00e7\u00e3o (UCs).  Em TQs, o aumento na \u00e1rea desmatada foi de 665%, com 2.555 hectares. \u00c9 no Cerrado que fica o TQ com maior \u00e1rea <\/strong>desmatada <\/strong>Barra do Aroeira (1,597 hectares deforested). The most deforested Environmental Protection Area (APA) in Brazil in 2023 is also in the Cerrado: APA do Rio Preto, with 13,596 hectares deforested.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With the exception of Piau\u00ed, S\u00e3o Paulo and Paran\u00e1, all the other Cerrado states registered an increase in deforestation in 2023 compared to 2022. In the case of Maranh\u00e3o, Tocantins, Goi\u00e1s, Par\u00e1 and the Federal District, the deforested area more than doubled.. <\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n
