Pantanal Program

The Ministry of Environment, dedicated to conserving this important biome, took over the Program for the Sustainable Development of the Pantanal - PANTANAL PROGRAM - with the mission of promoting the sustainable development of the municipalities that make up the BAP, in the States of Mato Grosso and Mato Grosso do Sul.
Natural resource management and incentives for economic activities compatible with the ecosystems should ensure the ecological equilibrium of this paradise and reduce social inequalities.

Around 40 municipalities, including 39 Indian villages, are directly affected by this Program.
