Figure S3. Occurrence (within municipalities) of JCU and biodiversity categories in relation to forest carbon storage and annual deforestation rate. Carbon storage relative to (a) Jaguar Conservation Units (JCU) priority categories, (b) IBP scores, and (c) MMA biodiversity priority scores. Annual deforestation rate (2002-2008) relative to (d) JCU priority categories, (e) IBP scores, and (f) MMA biodiversity priority scores. See main paper (Methods, Table 1 and Fig.1 and 3) for further details.

Using the PROMETHEE-GAIA program, we compared 16 different scenarios for carbon and deforestation. This table show the median values for all the municipalities in each scenario, for each criterion. All JCUs: Scenario P was the most inclusive scenario and included all municipalities that contained JCUs and corridors, therefore the values correspond to the medians of all municipalities within JCUs & corridors. Total in Brazil: Medians of all municipalities in Brazil are provided here for comparison only. PF: is the preference factor adopted to establish strict differences in the comparisons between scenarios for each fundamental criterion; here it is expressed as relative proportion. Preference factors were calculated with the aid of the program and based on data ranges.
