Building bridges between environmental and political agendas is essential nowadays in face of the increasing human pressure on natural environments, including wetlands. Wetlands provide critical ecosystem services for humanity can generate a considerable direct or indirect income to local communities. To meet many sustainable development goals, we need move our trajectory from current destructive wiser wetland use. The article contain proposed agenda Pantanal aiming improvement public policy...
Abstract Recreational fisheries in Brazil have increased importance and attracted many foreign recreational fishers. The objectives of this article were to summarise the available data on Brazilian fisheries, discuss some their features analyse how they are performing different regions compared with international trends. A review published unpublished sources together from fishing licences was used. participation rate low (0.9%). Overall, there a high diversity fish species, following...
Abstract The factors effecting fish species richness, evenness and relative abundance in 19 floodplain lagoons the Pantanal (Brazil) were examined. Richness strongly correlated with lagoon's: (i) isolation time from main river; (ii) depth; (iii) distance river. Abundance of five dominant was mainly with: (a) macrophyte cover; (b) (c) piscivore abundance. These results suggest that select to avoid or minimize their confinement inappropriate habitats. A combination strategies, together...
This study is based on interviews during 1983 -1988 of people who use and market medicinal plants in the state Minas Gerais south east Brazil.The aim to preserve popular local knowledge regarding for purposes.The common name, medical prescription methods preparation, plant part frequency with each was cited interview samples, are described species.The profession, age social condition given interviewee.A total 84 cities were visited, resulting collection 5000 dried herbarium specimes which...
The fish communities of lagoons in the Nhecolândia Pantanal were studied to determine factors which are responsible for composition and abundance species. Fishes collected 19 during August 1997, after their isolation from River Negro, using beach seines (15 × 1.5 m; 2 mm mesh). A total 51 species collected. In lagoons, or parts with dense macrophytes, a screened box trap was used. Fishing also accomplished hooks several sizes. Species richness estimated by jack‐knife procedure, adjustment...
Abstract The stomach contents of 24 species fish and unidentified from four genera in a floodplain lake the Pantanal were studied. Fish collected during dry season when was isolated main river. A community food ingestion index (feeding weighted by consumer biomass, FIWCB, where 0 < FIWCB 1) calculated to quantify feeding patterns. Detritus algae ingested Curimatidae responsible for 46.5% while that Loricariidae (armoured catfish) accounted 13.2%. importance detritus diets is discussed as...
Abstract A new policy in the Pantanal wetland, Brazil, aims to economically displace thousands of artisanal fishers from one‐third region. The legislation disregards several FAO Voluntary Guidelines for Securing Sustainability Small‐Scale Fisheries' guiding principles (SSF guidelines). Considering that 2024 marks 10th anniversary these guidelines, this represents a significant setback fish and fisheries worldwide. In paper, we show is part long‐term agenda against small‐scale Pantanal,...
Abstract Giant otters Pteronura brasiliensis are semiaquatic mammals that mainly eat fish, the abundance of which is affected by seasonal flooding and habitat structure. The piscivorous habits giant lead to negative human perception conflicts with fisheries. We compared otter feeding between seasons habitats in Southern Pantanal, Brazil, analyzing feces collected September 2008 June 2011.We investigated whether season P. diet composition prey size. calculated frequency occurrence, relative...
Comunidades tradicionais têm um papel fundamental na conservação e sustentabilidade dos recursos naturais. A pesca do Pantanal tem uma história de mais 5 mil anos. Atualmente, pescadores profissionais artesanais dependem dessa atividade para garantir o sustento renda das suas famílias região. No entanto, políticas no Pantanal, muitas vezes, foram elaboradas sem clara conexão com conhecimento científico sobre tema. Neste artigo, fazemos revisão atual a profissional artesanal região sul (Mato...
The resurgent navigation project is known as the Hidrovia Paraguay-Paraná threatens integrity of Pantanal, world's largest wetland, which considered a biome its own.

This short communication assembles information available on potential impacts planned deepening natural channel River ~700 km-long upper section. These river...
Abstract The Pantanal is considered the largest continuous freshwater wetland in world, and its sustainable use requires a unified conceptual framework. lengthy process to establish public policies has contributed increasing vulnerability of Pantanal. Given need for basis help this process, we elaborate list eight basic principles based on accumulated scientific evidence: (i) Consider Paraguay River Basin management unity; (ii) Establish rules that follow concept restricted approach; (iii)...
