Brazil - Pantanal Conservation Area

"The Pantanal Conservation Complex consists of a cluster of four protected areas with a total area of 187,818 ha. Located in western central Brazil at the south-west corner of the State of Mato Grosso, the site represents 1.3% of Brazil's Pantanal region, one of the world's largest freshwater wetland ecosystems. The headwaters of the region's two major river systems, the Cuiabá and the Paraguay rivers, are located here, and the abundance and diversity of its vegetation and animal life are spectacular."

80 percent of Pantanal flood plains are submerged during the raining season. A plethora of plants and wildlife. I really like the animals shown on the postcard, the tapir, the giant rat capybara, the colorful storks and macaws and cute new world monkey. Thanks so much again to Karina of Sao Paolo, Brazil. Obrigado.
