Pressures remain high in the Cerrado, however: it lost 0.4% of its total forest area in 2008-09 (IBAMA, 2015). Overall, total forest area has declined by about 5% since 2000. The number of official terrestrial protected areas (unidades de conseruagao) increased from 919 in 2000 to 1 940 in early 2015, or from 9% to 17.2% of the territory (MMA, 2015b).18 Brazil achieved the Aichi target - protecting at least 17% of terrestrial and inland water areas by 2020, under the UN Convention on Biological Diversity - in 2010, well ahead of time. The coverage of protected areas varies across biomes, ranging from nearly 27% in the Amazon to 2.7% in the Pampa biome, and only 1.5% of marine areas are protected (Figure 1.14).
