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.

As they were assessing the situation of the fires inside the Enconto das Águas State Park they saw a female jaguar and two small cubs crossing the river!
We are 100% sure which river channel they were flying over but it seems to be Corixo Negro.
Females of that region: Águe Capi Patricia Medrosa Jaju
We are praying for who ever it was, that she leads her cubs to a safe area away from the encroaching fires. ?????"
Its really sad these fires in the Pantanal, the crap government overall don't care and what is more intriguing is that nobody knows the source of the fires whether it was by natural causes or caused by humans.
I think the Onçafari captures could possibly be postponed due to the intense fires. But I'll get if this happens of course.
The whole situation is very sad and upsetting, especially because it isn't getting the international attention it deserves as the world's largest wetland. I believe it's a mixture of human-induced fires to clear space for cattle ranching that got out of control due to drier conditions this summer thanks to climate change. I'm hoping this does not replicate on the Llanos at the end of the year when the drought there hits. This deserves as much attention as the Australian fires.
