The Pantanal Conservation Area consists of four protected areas with a total area of 187,818 hectares. Located in the southwestern corner of Mato Grosso State in central-western Brazil, the reserve covers 1.3% of the Brazilian Pantanal region and is one of the largest freshwater wetland ecosystems in the world. The source of the region's two major river systems, the Cuiabá and Paraguay, are located here, and the richness and diversity of its vegetation and animals are amazing.
