Process

You will need to research the features of the Pantanal and then determine what it has to offer that tourists might pay to come and see. 

 

Use these questions to guide your research:

*  Where is the Pantanal located?

*  What makes this region unique?  Wildlife? Geology? Scenery?  Culture? Climate? History?

*  What can this area offer tourists? 

*  What are some things tourists could do?

*  How would they get there?

*  Where would they stay?

*  What jobs would be created to enhance the local economy?

*  What might be some obstacles?  Look at the viewpoints of a developer, environmentalist, local person, government, etc. 

 

When you have finished taking notes, please share with your teacher.

 

When your teacher has approved your research, the next step is to make a PowerPoint presentation that will persuade the Brazilian government that your plan for ecotourism development in the Pantanal is the best – that it meets the economic and conservation needs of the region.  Include reasons and information in support of your proposal.  Click here to see what a quality presentation should include.
