A Cocoi Heron takes flight in the rain forest along the Mutum river, (Rio Mutum) of the Pantanal wetlands in the world's largest and a vital ecosystem in Brazil. The Pantanal is the world’s largest wetland of 42 million acres covering parts of two neighbouring countries, Bolivia and Paraguay. Brazil has the largest area of this pristine ecosystem. This vast region attracts much tourism for its abundance of wildlife, flora and rainforests which generates a lot of income into the local economy.
