A new study published in Nature Sustainability shows that up to fifteen million hectares of land might lose its current protection due to a paragraph in the Brazilian Forest Act, the most important legal framework for nature conservation on privately owned land in Brazil. Behind the study is a collaboration between KTH and Chalmers in Sweden, and the University of São Paulo in Brazil.
