Upper Paraguay River Basin Floodplain

The Pantanal Gets an Integrated Conservation GIS	A Solution Takes Hold	Pilot Project Begins
Comparing Data	Story of Success

Upper Paraguay River Basin.

A report documenting procedures and the contents of the database is in the final stages of development.

When completed, the pilot project will establish a robust proof of concept for the larger trinational GIS and an important baseline data set to immediately support conservation decisions in the Pantanal. Ultimately, the new GIS will enable governmental agencies and NGOs within Brazil, Bolivia, and Paraguay to work in partnership as they protect and manage this unique, fragile, and marvelous ecosystem.
