Resumo
The effectiveness of protected areas in biodiversity conservation relies on the availability of
resources and a robust management structure. However, there was a mismatch between the
establishment of protected areas and investment in their management, resulting in many areas
lacking essential resources, especially in the Neotropical region. This discrepancy is
pronounced in the Brazilian Amazon, posing a substantial risk to the intended objectives of the
biome's protected areas. This research investigates the factors influencing the management
effectiveness of protected areas in the Amazon. It proposes a strategy for prioritizing
investments based on the area's significance for biodiversity conservation and the degree of
anthropogenic impact it faces. The findings reveal that protected areas receiving support from
the Amazon Protected Areas Program and managed by federal agencies exhibit higher levels of
management, along with increased human and financial resources, compared to those lacking
support or managed by state agencies. Areas designated for sustainable use demonstrate
superior management effectiveness compared to those under full protection. Additionally, the
extent of deforestation in the surroundings negatively affects both the management
effectiveness and the perceived adequacy of resources. Notably, areas of highest priority for
biodiversity conservation tend to experience lower levels of management and resources,
indicating a resource deficit in these critical areas. These results underscore the imperative to
channel resources towards the management of protected areas with high conservation value and
those facing heightened anthropogenic pressures to effectively safeguard biodiversity.
