A personal documentary project on the brazilian Pantanal. The
Pantanal is a huge floodplain in the middle of South America. It
is home to many threatened wildlife species but most of it's
area are private owned by cattle ranchers. Over there, the cattle
is raised almost in the same way it used to be two centuries
ago, they range free on the land and move to higher grounds
during the rainy season. Many farms now protect their wildlife
for eco friendly tourism operations while others still hunt
jaguars and others species that enters their properties.
