Title: Céu e inferno em terras alagadas
Description: The Pantanal is a biome comprises the States of Mato Grosso, Matto Grosso do Sul and a small portion of Goiás State. The conservation area was designated by UNESCO as a World Natural Heritage and Biosphere Reserve. The Pantanal houses a wide diversity of species, such as the alligator (symbol of the biome), piranha, jaguar, as well as a multitude of fish. The book "Heaven and hell in Flooded Lands" initiates the Pantanal+10 project wher photographer José Medeiro starts with this work that documents the historical record of this important region in the last two years. Unlike poetic images that are almost always linked to the Pantanal, the author documents the results of the fires and the action of man in the largest floodplain in the world. Over the next ten years (2020 to 2030) the idea is to launch five books that will address various aspects of the Pantanal.
