Pantanal

The Pantanal is the world's largest tropical wetland, located primarily in Brazil, with parts in Bolivia and Paraguay. Spanning about 150,000 square kilometers, it is renowned for its rich biodiversity, including a variety of plants and animals, such as capybaras, jaguars, and hundreds of bird species. The ecosystem experiences seasonal floods, which create a unique habitat that attracts wildlife and supports agriculture. The Pantanal is crucial for environmental health, helping with water filtration and carbon storage, but it faces threats from deforestation, agriculture, and climate change, making conservation efforts vital.
