The Brazilian Pantanal is the world's largest wetland, and a wilderness area of international significance. This work details the driving forces of the Pantanal ecosystem, including the annual cycle of flood and drought that has created the mosaic of forests; grassland, wetland and rivers; and issues surrounding development and conservation.
At more than twenty times the size of North America's Everglades, the Brazilian Pantanal is the world's largest wetland, and a wilderness area of international significance. With one of the most spectacular concentrations of wildlife on earth, and rare and endangered species almost impossible to find elsewhere, this hugely productive environment is an increasingly popular ecotourism destination. Theo Allofs' superb photography is accompanied by text written by scientists from Conservation International. In it, they detail the driving forces of the Pantanal ecosystem, including the annual cycle of flood and drought that has created the mosaic of forests, grassland, wetland and rivers; the history of the people who make the Pantanal their home; and issues surrounding development and conservation. Evocative and informative, "Pantanal" is a beautiful exploration of this captivating and truly magical region.
