Location of the three study sites (Pantanal, Cerrado, Atlantic Forest) over a raster of machine-learning-based human footprint index (ml-HFI), an index of human pressure on the landscape that is derived from remotely sensed surface imagery and ranges on a scale between 0 (no human impact), and 1 (high human impact). The Atlantic Forest was the most disturbed biome we monitored tapirs in with only ca. 12–29% of the natural habitat remaining, whereas the Cerrado has lost almost 50% of its natural area, and the Pantanal is a nearly pristine biome
