Achieving conservation through cattle ranching: The case of the Brazilian Pantanal

Conservation Science and Practice, Volume 7, Issue 7, July 2025.
Cattle ranching in the Pantanal should be part of the conservation agenda and we show the pathways to it. Abstract Cattle ranching in the ~140,000 km2 Brazilian Pantanal is considered one of the most important cases of sustainable use of natural resources in the global south. The region has had a successful history of balancing environmental protection
