In northeastern Paraguay lies a magical world where giant otters play, jaguars roam, toucans soar and annual floods give rise to one of the most magnificent displays of life on the planet. The Pantanal is Earth’s largest wetland and is shared by Bolivia, Brazil, and Paraguay. Thousands of people and animals depend on it for survival. Despite global importance, it faces increasing threats such as river channelization and deforestation. E.Y.H.
