The Marine and Coastal Protected Areas project, supported by the Global Environment Facility, will contribute to this goal. Federal protected areas cover nearly 60% of threatened flora and fauna species (Chapter 4). While Brazil needs to keep a tight focus on the Amazon biome, future efforts will need to concentrate on marine areas and the other terrestrial biomes, notably Cerrado and Caatinga, where protection through land-use zoning is low and the most future deforestation is expected (Soares-Filho et al., The ecosystem representation of conservation may appear more balanced once the set-aside areas, as required under the Forest Code, are implemented and monitored. It has also been driven by a desire to recognise traditional and local community rights. Since the mid-2000s, more than 500 000 km2 of federal and state-level protected areas have been created in the Amazon, including along the so-called "deforestation arc” (comprising the eastern and southern edges of the forests in the states of Rondonia, Mato Grosso and Para) and in areas expecting road infrastructure development.
