Figure 1
Number of Brazilian federal protected areas participating in each component of Monitora’s subprograms (green, brown and blue circles) as of 2022. Some PAs contribute to more than one component, so cross-component totals do not correspond to the number of involved PAs.

Evolution of social participation in butterfly data collection (part of the Terrestrial subprogram) as the number of involved protected areas (PAs) grew. The Covid-19 pandemic affected data collection in 2020 and 2021 (*partial results).
Figure 5
Schematic relationship between Monitora Program actions, intended and observed results, and Sustainable Development Goals. No attempt was made to link individual elements of the framework in Figure 5, as each action (represented in green) may lead to one or multiple results (in brown), which may contribute to more than one SDG (in blue).
