Wildlife decimated by fires in Brazil’s Pantanal

The Pantanal region in Brazil is the world’s largest tropical wetlands and one of the most ecologically diverse places in the world. It’s home to more than 4,700 species of plants and animals, including jaguars, capybaras — the world’s largest rodent — striking cobalt-blue Hyacinth Macaws and anteaters. Many of these iconic species burned or had their habitat destroyed in this year’s record-setting wildfires. The World’s Carolyn Beeler speaks with wildlife biologist Jorge Gallo about the impact the fires are having on wildlife, and visits an animal clinic in Campo Grande, Brazil, to see how veterinarians are treating an injured anteater.
