With a total area of almost 195000 square kilometres (or 75 000 square miles), the Pantanal is the largest wetland in the world.As such a vast tropical wetland, the Pantanal is a very precious resource of Brazil, home to an array of plant- and animal species. In fact, up to 12 sub-regional ecosystems have been identified within the Pantanal, each of which has its own unique identity and characteristics.
