WWF Pantanal Program

Did you know that since 1998, WWF has been involved in the pantanal with the objectives to curtail climate change, create sustainable cattle farming, improve land use planning, and encourage corporate and social environmental responsibilities.

According the the WWF, the hope to achieve this by: 

Regarding climate change: WWF is  working on "systematizing existing information and making it available to key stakeholders working on climate change."

 Having this information organized will also allow identifying where research still needs to be carried out, as well as designing strategies that reduce the vulnerability of the watershed in the face of climate change.

Regarding cattle ranching: "Sustainable cattle ranching activities in the Pantanal consistently link environmental protection with economic development in the region. In addition, it reinforces productive practices and traditional cultural values that in turn reinforce the Pantanal’s identity and become a real opportunity to make the economic interests of cattle ranching compatible with conservation." 

In addition, WWF hopes to contribute towards the design and implementation of Municipal Plans on Land Use Regulation for local Pantanal Municipalities.
