Conteúdo: 	On 17 September 1985, Jose Sarney, President of Brazil, declared the Pantanal Mato-grossense a priority area for research and conservation. This annoucement was part of the opening ceremonies of a worlwide campaign directed at the conservation of wetlands. The campaign was promoted by UNESCO, with the cooperation of the International Union for the Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources (IUCN) and the World Wildlife Fund (WWF). The Pantanal, with its extraordinary diversity and abundance of wildlife, is a threatened region. Deforestation; expanding agriculture; illegal hunting and fishing; and pollution of the water with herbicides, pesticides, and by-products of fuel alcohol production have caused a progressive deterioration of the natural environment, placing at risk one of Brazil's most important ecosystems.
