In Brazil’s Pantanal -- the world’s largest tropical wetland -- flashes of brilliant blue signal the presence of the hyacinth macaw. Once on the brink of extinction, these spectacular birds are now symbols of hope thanks to dedicated conservation work and the influence of ecotourism. Expedition Leader Helder Brandao shares stories from the field and insights from Nat Hab’s Brazil adventures, revealing how protecting macaws also safeguards jaguars and the wider Pantanal ecosystem.
