Last chance to buy and protect the world's largest wetland

Brazil’s Pantanal is an environmental wonderland home to
fascinating species like giant otters, giant armadillos, and the densest
population of jaguars on the planet.
But climate change and tourism are putting the world’s largest
wetland in serious peril: with the land rapidly drying, record-setting fires
have just killed countless animals, with some estimates in the millions.
Local groups are sounding the alarm and asking for help
purchasing and protecting forever an enormous tract of 326,179 acres that
will prevent exploitation and save animals and communities from future
disasters.
So we’re partnering with Rainforest Trust to help make it
happen. Together we’ve purchased and protected rainforest from Indonesia to
Colombia – and now we can do it again. Our collective donation to the
project will be matched 4x, quadrupling our impact – can you help protect
the Pantanal, and power Ekō's work to protect the planet from corporate
power?
I'll donate $3
I'll donate $4
I'll donate $5
I'll donate $9
I'll donate another amount
The Pantanal isn’t as famous as the Amazon but it has become the
second most popular tourist destination in South America after the
Galapagos. That pressure, and the desire to install more farmland, has
driven deforestation and made it increasingly hard to conserve large
wilderness areas that could keep the ecosystem intact.
Add climate change to the mix and the Pantanal’s survival is at
stake. Just look at this year’s fires:
Or what it does to local wildlife:
The new Taquari Wetlands State Park would significantly expand
protection for a critical wildlife corridor, allowing animals to safely
travel away from the most touristed areas of the Pantanal. And support for a
new local firefighting team could save literally millions of animals from
future climate-change-driven fires.
With your help, we can support Rainforest Trust and local
partners like Onçafri to make this a reality, as well as continue our
campaigning to protect biodiversity worldwide, including in the Amazon. We
can help buy and protect a critical part of the world’s largest wetland –
our collective donation to the project will be matched 4:1, quadrupling our
impact. Will you join us?
I'll donate $3

Your donation will help power Ekō and our campaigns worldwide
fighting for people and the planet.
Thanks for all that you do,
Danny and the Ekō team
