Resumen

In the original published article, the shapefile for community locations (centros poblados) was incomplete, and did not match the associated shapefile for Indigenous titled lands, resulting in an underestimation of the number of Indigenous communities and Indigenous people who may be impacted by the proposed highway. The incorrect and correct summaries of the data in Table 1 are provided in this correction. The original article has been corrected. Incorrect version of Table 1: (Table presented.)
