Description of changes for figure 4
In the original version the unit labels for RTRS and RSPO in figure 4(b) Adoption were not properly marked as '%' and the values for RSPO adoption were not converted into percentages (e.g. 10 instead of 0.10). The corrected version of figure 4 should read as below. No other values in this figure have changed.

Description of changes for table 3
In the original version the value of 'NC'—no certification—in table 3 was improperly marked as 'NA'. Additionally, the continuation of table 3 onto page 6 of the manuscript in the final PDF was mislabeled as 'focal crop-soy' instead of 'focal crop-oil palm'. The corrected version of table 3 should read as above. No other values in this table have changed.
Table 3. Land cover change in focal countries. We calculate low and high estimates of the fraction of total tree cover loss due to crop expansion, as well as the fraction of tree cover loss attributable to soy or oil palm ""expansion (BAU). Tree cover loss data are derived by applying a 30% canopy cover threshold to annual Landsat-derived percent tree cover data (21), while crop expansion data were downloaded from FAOSTAT (42). Oil palm area for Cambodia was not available from FAOSTAT. Some countries had no certified (NC) area in 2013 or 2014.
