Fig. 1: Indicators comparison at different extinction scales.

Potential global (a) and regional (d) loss of native vertebrate species in Cerrado mesoregions by 2021 assessed with the countryside Species-Area Relationship (cSAR). Global (b) and regional (e) loss of habitat integrity in Cerrado mesoregions by 2021 for the native vertebrate species that cannot inhabit agricultural land uses assessed with the Species Habitat Index (SHI). Global threat abatement score (START) disaggregated at mesoregions (c) assessed with the Species Threat Abatement and Restoration metric. Data values were scaled between a range of 0 (lowest) to 1 (highest) with a min-max normalisation for intercomparison between indicators. The Brazilian Cerrado ecoregion is highlighted in red in the map of South America at the bottom right, showing the Brazilian states within its coverage.
