River in the Sky

50' (ENG, GER)

Brazil has a river that is bigger than the Amazon. Yet until recently it was unknown, and even now it remains invisible. Where is this remarkable river?

It is a River-in-the-Sky! And it is essential for all life in Brazil for it provides water to the grasslands and the farmers’ fields, and fills the reservoirs that provide water for more than half the inhabitants of this vibrant country. The River-in-the-Sky is critical for giant anteaters on the plains of the Cerrado, for jaguars in swamps of the Pantanal and for monkeys and macaws in the tropical rainforests.

The River-in-the-Sky brings life to the great natural landscapes of Brazil. And all of this depends on the breath of the living Amazon rainforest!
