Read the passage and choose the best answer for each question.
The Pantanal, located mainly in Brazil, is the world's largest tropical wetland. It is home to thousands of species, including jaguars, caimans, and many rare birds. However, this important ecosystem is now facing serious environmental threats.
One of the biggest problems is the growing number of wildfires. During the dry season, high temperatures and long droughts create conditions that allow fires to spread quickly. While some fires start naturally, many are set by people to clear land for cattle farming. These fires destroy large areas of vegetation and kill many animals, damaging the natural balance of the region.
Pollution is another serious danger to the Pantanal. Farming activities nearby often cause toxic chemicals and fertilisers to flow into rivers and lakes. In addition, illegal gold mining adds mercury to the water. Because local communities and wildlife both rely on these water sources, the presence of such harmful substances leads to health problems and affects the whole food chain.
In conclusion, the Pantanal is under serious threat from human activity and climate change. Without stronger environmental laws and international support, this irreplaceable natural area may be lost forever. Immediate action is needed to protect both its water and its wildlife for future generations.
