The Giant Otter Project

The Giant Otter Project was created in 2019, by the biologist Caroline Leuchtenberger, as a result of studies and conservation actions with the species that have been conducted for almost two decades in the Brazilian Pantanal and due to the need to establish a conservation program focused on this endangered species. In 2020 Caroline and her team founded the Association “Giant Otter Conservation Fund”.
