The Pantanal is a fragile ecological wonder in need of management.

A dozen rivers flood some 80% of the Pantanal, the world’s largest tropical wetlands which stretches across western Brazil and into Bolivia and Paraguay, from the start of the rainy season in November. They course though a region which is a magnet for intrepid tourists, including those who love to fish.
