... Amazing nature view of the world's largest tropical wetland area and flooded grasslands... a wildlife haven and one of Brazil's biggest hidden gems... it floods in the wet season and therefore it is an extremely important unique ecosystem for the conservation of biological diversity and is a habitat for several worldwide threatened species... the abundance and diversity of its vegetation and animal life are spectacular... one of the many activities you can enjoy is a boat ride... it’s a great way to spot animals and enjoy the unique scenery of the area... unfortunately its headwaters, in particular, are at high risk... more than 55% of the Pantanal’s headwaters have already been deforested... Thanks Rute!【ツ】

The Pantanal Conservation Area consists of a cluster of four protected areas with a total area of 187,818 ha. Located in western central Brazil at the south-west corner of the State of Mato Grosso, the site represents 1.3% of Brazil's Pantanal region.
Around 95% of the Pantanal is under private ownership, the majority of which is used for cattle grazing and supports millions people in rural communities and distant cities.
In 2000, the Special Reserves as well as the Pantanal National Park became UNESCO World Heritage Site.
