The Pantanal
Located in the heart of South America, the Pantanal is a mosaic of ecosystems, neighboring the Amazon Rainforest, the Cerrado, the Atlantic Forest and the Bolivian Chaco. It is a world natural heritage and biosphere reserve recognized by UNESCO and the world’s largest wetland.
The Pantanal Science Camp
The Pantanal Science Camp is a customizable academic exchange program. Swissnex will provide access to the largest Private Natural Heritage Reserve in Brazil through a one-week science camp, with complete infrastructure and full support on connecting to researchers, universities and academic partners. The program can be structured for summer schools, field courses and study tours on topics such as sustainability, biology, ecology, wildlife conservation, geology, culture, arts, education, anthropology and more.
Our goal is to provide Swiss researchers the opportunity to discover and experience the Pantanal, bring forward their research and foster international cooperation with Brazilian counterparts.
