TO GO WITH AFP STORY by Hector Velasco
Picture of the Paraguay river as it winds through the Pantanal, in Corumba, a municipality in the Brazilian state of Mato Grosso do Sul, on April 4, 2013. Often referred to as the world’s largest freshwater wetland system, the Pantanal, is a stunning biodiversity sanctuary which extends through millions of hectares in central-western Brazil, eastern Bolivia and eastern Paraguay. It includes sanctuaries for migratory birds, nursery grounds for aquatic life, and refuges for such creatures as the yacare caiman, deer, and jaguar. Some 4,500 different species live in the Pantanal. AFP PHOTO/Yasuyoshi CHIBA
