Conservation Corner
We value conservation – it is at the heart of our work. All Naturalist Journeys’ tours support local conservation projects. Browse the links below to learn more about positive local work to save and conserve the wildlife and landscapes we visit.
Brazil's Pantanal
About 2% of the vast waterways, varied habitats, and distinctive animals of the Pantanal comprise a World Heritage Site, designated the “Pantanal Conservation Area” by the United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization (UNESCO). This vast wetland ecosystem is unique in the world.
Additional Conservation Work
The Royal Zoological Society of Scotland (RZSS), Institute for Ecological Research (IPE), and Baia das Pedras support the Giant Armadillo Conservation Project, a multi-year study investigating the ecology, biology, and ecosystem services provided by this elusive species, resulting in significant grassroots conservation achievements.
Private Reserves
Private reserves are key to the region’s future.
