Indicators data and metadata

Data and metadata associated with the article: Fairbrass, A. <i>et al.</i> (In press) ‘Indicator-based natural capital reporting to inform decision-making in the Brazilian Pantanal’, <i>Conservation Science and Practice</i> [Preprint].Indicators and their metadata compiled to report on the natural capital of the Brazilian Pantanal. One UK-based researcher (AF) and two Brazil-based research assistants (VM and EQ) conducted compiled the dataset between January-July 2021.We sourced most indicators from online official government statistics, including employment statistics, production volumes, and values, area of agricultural production, and organic agricultural and livestock production statistics from the IBGE. In addition, we sourced health statistics from the Ministry of Health’s DataSus platform, water production and use statistics from the National Sanitation Information System (SNIS), and fishing and nature-based tourism statistics from the National Water and Sanitation Agency (ANA). In general, government statistics were reported annually at the municipality scale for all 16 municipalities in the Pantanal, typically from the early 2000s to date. However, government statistics produced less regularly were the indicators of organic livestock and agriculture production, which were only available in 2017, and fishing and tourism statistics, which were only available for 2018.本数据集及关联元数据对应的论文为：Fairbrass, A. 等人（即将刊出）《基于指标的自然资本报告以支撑巴西潘塔纳尔湿地决策》，刊载于《保护科学与实践（Conservation Science and Practice）》[预印本]。本数据集汇编了用于评估巴西潘塔纳尔湿地自然资本状况的各类指标及其元数据。本数据集由英国籍研究员AF与巴西籍研究助理VM、EQ于2021年1月至7月间编制完成。本数据集多数指标源自官方政府在线统计资源，包括巴西地理与统计研究所（Instituto Brasileiro de Geografia e Estatística, IBGE）发布的就业统计、生产规模与产值、农业生产面积、有机农业及畜牧生产统计数据。此外，健康统计数据源自巴西卫生部DataSus平台，水资源生产与使用统计数据源自国家环境卫生信息系统（National Sanitation Information System, SNIS），渔业与自然旅游统计数据源自国家水利与卫生署（National Water and Sanitation Agency, ANA）。总体而言，上述政府统计数据均以年度为发布周期，按市政辖区尺度进行统计，覆盖潘塔纳尔湿地全部16个市政辖区，统计时段大致覆盖21世纪初至今。但部分指标的统计频率较低：有机畜牧与农业生产相关指标仅可获取2017年的统计数据，渔业与旅游统计指标仅可获取2018年的统计数据。
