Abstract

The Pantanal stands out as a wetland and transboundary biome of international, regional and national relevance, both as a result of the great biodiversity it shelters and because of its importance in maintaining essential ecosystem processes for ensuring the ecological balance of the region, being considered, including World Heritage and Biosphere Reserve by UNESCO. However, currently, the Pantanal is afflicted by the consequences resulting from the global ecological crisis, subjecting it to a scenario of loss and degradation related to the reckless exploitation and unsustainable use of its natural resources. Therefore, the contemporary challenge is to harmonize the protection and conservation of this biome with sustainable use under the focus of the seventeen Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of the 2030 Agenda, of In this sense, the debate concerning the legal protection of the Pantanal demands a detailed analysis of the legal, national and international frameworks, applicable to the protection of the biome, as well as requires reflections that address issues related to accountability in environmental matters, the competence of federative entities in the protection biome, traditional populations and economic instruments for environmental protection. Such issues are widely debated in the present work entitled “Legal Protection of the Pantanal”, whose eleven chapters discuss issues such as: forest fires, protection of macaws, biodiversity and sustainable development, protection of the Pantanal as a wetland, climate change, environmental protection of the biome in the Federal Constitution, fundamental right of the traditional Pantanal people, economic instruments for environmental protection, competence of federative entities, environmental civil responsibility and protection of the Pantanal under the perspective of criminal law.
