Saving Jaguars and Ourselves (2026)
Dr. Susan Perz

This is a story of people trying to save their homes, jaguars, wildlife, ecotourism, and lodges from out-of-control climate wildfires in the remote Pantanal of Brazil, the world’s largest wetland, storing 10 billion tons of carbon—that is threatened by deforestation of the Amazon Rainforest which may have only 2 more years left before its ecosystem dies and decaying trees begin 30-50 years of releasing up to 200 billion tons of carbon that would ultimately destroy the Earth’s climate.
