The alarm sounded, and this time, to our sadness, it is to hear the requests for #PantanalEmLuta (today's trending tag) !!! Follow the #BioThreadBr to understand the giant risk we face with the loss of this very important biome...

Considered the largest floodplain in the world, according to IBGE data in 2004 it had an area of approximately 58 sq mi, which is 1.76% of the country's total area. In 2009, using satellite images, the PMDBBS, reported that Pantanal still had 83.07% of the native vegetation cover
Home to countless species: 263 of fish, 41 of amphibians, 113 of reptiles, 463 of birds and 132 species of mammals (2 endemic) - according to MMA (2012). At the Embrapa Pantanal site, almost 2,000 species of plants have already been identified there!

With enormous biodiversity due to its connection with Cerrado and Amazon biomes, it has the greatest concentration of large vertebrates in the country! To keep the support of water resources, nutrients and biodiversity, it depends on the health of these other two biomes.

The increasing and more absurd devastation of the Amazon has influenced the Pantanal's rain regime, resulting in the greatest drought in the last 47 years.
It has been proven that the fires in the region were of human (and criminal) origin since - unlike other biomes - this time of the year there are NO natural fires in the Pantanal #PantanalEmLuta
From January to August, arson crimes have already been responsible for the destruction of 12% of the entire biome's coverage (somewhere around 7,2 sq mi), which is 2 millions ac. incinerated, with all life exterminated...
One of the affected places that we can mention is the São Francisco de Perigara farm, a refuge for more than 700 great blue macaws (Anodorhynchus hyacinthinus), which has conservation status as vulnerable! This figure represents about 15% of all individuals released into the wild
Another critical site that was criminally attacked is the Xingu Indigenous Park!! Like this territory, there are countless others - homes of so many indigenous peoples! - being devastated by the flames, destroying the protected forest and lives...
The impacts and losses are still incalculable, but according to studies, the emission of carbon, trapped in the environment by native plants, is huge. The death of animals will also influence the local economy, which is very active in ecotourism to observe biodiversity.
We are the country that most destroys the environment in the world, with a genocidal government that applauds the death of everything that is against it.
We are a gray country of destruction, who boasts of joy and ignores the blood that flows from lost lives...
