Brazil's Pantanal region is the world’s largest tropical wetland, with a biodiversity and local culture so rich that it’s a UNESCO World Heritage site. In this week’s episode we take you deep into this region to explore what conserving the genetic heritage of one local animal breed means for this special ecosystem, for local culture and traditions, and for food security on an increasingly harsher planet.
