The Documenta Pantanal invites the audience to the screening of the film "Pantanal," produced by the Environmental Justice Foundation.
This documentary sheds light on the challenges faced by the Pantanal, the world's largest tropical wetland, which is under threat due to severe issues impacting its rich biodiversity and the communities that rely on it. The loss of native grasslands, deforestation at river sources due to monoculture expansion in the Cerrado, and the exacerbation of climate change have led to a water crisis and catastrophic wildfires in the region. The film follows environmentalists, scientists, and community leaders in their quest for the preservation of the Pantanal, emphasizing the resilience of this ecosystem. It advocates for its recovery with appropriate support and offers a glimmer of hope for the future.
