This collection of papers and presentations on the Pantanal represents some of the best and most comprehensive material on this immense and biologically rich system.  Many of the world’s foremost authorities — from Brazil, Bolivia, Paraguay, and other nations, and from key international and intergovernmental organizations — share their knowledge of the Pantanal, and their insights on the socioeconomic challenges confronting this unique treasure. The version available here is the first edition. The virtually identical, second edition of this book, titled The Pantanal: Understanding and Preserving the World’s Largest Wetland, is available from Paragon House Publishers (www.paragonhouse.com). (The two versions differ in the final article by Dr. Wally N’Dow, which is incompletely edited in the first edition.)
