There is a world somewhere between reality and fiction. Although ignored by many, it is very real and so are those living in it. This forum is about the natural world. Here, wild animals will be heard and respected. The forum offers a glimpse into an unknown world as well as a room with a view on the present and the future. Anyone able to speak on behalf of those living in the emerald forest and the deep blue sea is invited to join.
''Went on a night safari out here to look for wildlife. It was so great. We visited a privately owned ranch in the Pantanal. This is a cattle ranch and the owners converted it to eco-tourism. For years they would kill jaguars that would kill cattle on their ranch, but the conservation group here worked with them to change that, by helping them create this eco-tourism safari ride to help pay for the cattle the jaguars kill. While we were there we encountered three jaguars stalking some nearby cattle. It was intense to watch. The cats stopped hunting when we showed up. It was insanely cool. Before this was set up, these three cats would of been shot, thanks to the work by the good people here in the Pantanal the cats won’t be harmed. Such a good thing. We also encountered ocelots, crab eating foxes, peccaries and marsh deer. A nice ending to an amazing day.''
