DESCRIPTION:This powerful documentary explores the history and challenges 
 of the world's largest tropical wetland.\n\nFeaturing insights from scient
 ists\, Indigenous leaders\, and local communities\, the film highlights th
 e climate crisis\, agricultural shifts\, and the transformation of the Cer
 rado\, all of which are disrupting the region’s water cycle.\n\nThe fil
 m stars Department of Geography Masters in Conservation Leadership alumna 
 Luciana Leite - now with the Environmental Justice Foundation (EJF) - as o
 ne of its highlighted environmentalists.\n\n“In addition to reflecting m
 uch of what I learned on conservation during my time at the University of 
 Cambridge\, the documentary reveals how we\, humans\, continue to indiscri
 minately alter natural landscapes like the Pantanal\, the world's largest 
 wetland\, negatively impacting the environment and all its inhabitants –
  both human and non-human. At the same time\, the film also sends a messag
 e of hope\, showing that this destruction can be stopped\, if we put our m
 inds\, hearts\, funds and efforts towards it"\, says Luciana Leite.\n\nTh
 e screening\, hosted by the MPhil in Conservation Leadership team\, will c
 onclude with a discussion\, offering attendees a chance to meet Luciana an
 d engage with panelists on environmental issues and the\nrole of communica
 tion in combating the climate crisis. Undergraduate members of the departm
 ent are very welcome to attend.
