Land use and forest loss in Indigenous lands, conservation units and protected areas
The official boundaries of Indigenous lands (Funai), of federal, state and municipal conservation units (CNUC/MMA) and, in Canada, of protected areas (CPCAD): Yvynation analyses each territory and its surroundings.
Where to use it

MapBiomas cover and Hansen loss inside each Indigenous land or conservation unit and around it.
- Yvynation 🇨🇦 CanadaOpen Yvynation →
CPCAD protected areas with AAFC, NTEMS VLCE2 and Hansen. Canadian First Nations lands are not analysed, out of respect for the OCAP® principles.
- Naturametrics 🇧🇷 BrazilOpen Naturametrics →
Indigenous lands and conservation units as reference and search layers.
What this data does not tell you
- In the reference layers the boundaries are simplified (~200 m) and do not decide whether a point is inside a territory.
Frequently asked questions
How do I compare forest loss inside and outside a conservation unit?
In Yvynation, pick the unit: it computes cover and loss inside it and in a band around it, side by side.
