Pantanal wetland

About Pantanal wetland:

• The world’s largest wetland, known as the Pantanal, in South America is at risk of collapse.
• This is due to a series of local and seemingly minor decisions that fail to account for their cumulative impact on one of Earth’s most biodiverse ecosystems.
• It is also the world’s largest flooded grasslands.
• It is fed through the Paraguay River and tributaries.
• It is designated a National Heritage by the Brazilian Constitution and a restricted-use region whose use should be ecologically sustainable.
