Linked to SDG 8 (Decent work and economic growth)
The Expedição Pantanal Project was created by the Instituto Socioambiental da Bacia do Alto Paraguai (Socio-Environmental Institute of the Alto Paraguai watershed) — SOS Pantanal — with the support of the Toyota do Brasil Foundation in 2011 and has covered the entire Pantanal by mapping the best practices in the education, health, tourism, environment, and economy sectors.
Data collection, which was carried out during the trip, led to strategies for the protection of this environment and the diagnosis of socio-environmental problems, which resulted in the elaboration of a guide to sustainable practices, a documentary, and a photography book about the region.
In 2019, SOS Pantanal, with the support of the Toyota Foundation, held a new edition of the initiative. The 2019 Expedição Pantanal documented eco-friendly business opportunities in the Alto Paraguai watershed region, as well as biodiversity conservation projects, by highlighting their importance for the sustainable economic development of the Pantanal biome.
We believe in partnerships and in people's strength. Let’s build a better world! Together, we can make a difference!
