WASHINGTON, DC / ACCESS Newswire / December 19, 2025 / Far beyond uniting jazz and the natural musicality of the Pantanal, the Pantanal Jam project stood out for bringing focus to the conservation of the Pantanal territory, native species, and regional culture. Reinforcing its main purpose: giving visibility to the work of NGOs that work daily to protect the Pantanal biome, its fauna, flora, and the communities of the region.

Transforming its stage into a showcase for projects that preserve endangered species, promote environmental education, and develop social impact actions with riverside communities, Indigenous peoples, and small producers.

NGOs that make a difference in the Pantanal.

Among the organizations present are institutions nationally recognized for their continuous work in defense of the biome, such as:

Instituto SOS Pantanal - A nonprofit organization that works in the prevention and combat of forest fires through the Pantaneira Brigades, restoration of degraded areas, protection of springs, defense of the Pantanal biome, and the dissemination of its importance. The institute uses science and projects to defend the biome, seeking to protect biodiversity and Pantanal culture.

Instituto Homem Pantaneiro (IHP) - A civil society, nonprofit organization founded in 2002 that works to preserve the Pantanal biome and local culture. Its activities include the management of protected areas, promotion of research, environmental monitoring, recovery of degraded areas, conservation of biodiversity corridors, and the development of programs such as Rede Amolar and the Memorial Homem Pantaneiro.

Instituto Arara Azul - Created by biologist Neiva Guedes, the institute has been working since 1990 with management, monitoring, and environmental education projects to ensure the survival of the species of "arara-azul" (blue macaw) and the preservation of its habitat.

Onçafari - It is dedicated to biodiversity conservation and the preservation of wild animals, with a special focus on onça-pintada. Onçafari seeks to promote coexistence between wildlife and local communities, using scientific research and ecotourism as its main tools.

In August 2025, Onçafari and the Instituto Homem Pantaneiro announced a partnership to expand fire prevention actions in the Pantanal, with joint work of the environmental brigade across more than 285 thousand hectares.

"For Onçafari, conservation is not done alone. The partnership with IHP, in the anti-fire front, is a clear example of how collaboration between institutions can make a difference. Together, we not only protect the rich biodiversity of the Pantanal but also strengthen fire prevention actions." Onçafari's statement.

At Pantanal Jam, in addition to the musicality, the public will be able to follow discussion circles, workshops, and exhibitions where NGO members will share stories, challenges, and achievements. The project is not just entertainment; it is also a space to give voice to those who fight daily for the survival of the Pantanal.

"Pantanal Jam presents itself explicitly as a bridge between art, nature, and conservation," emphasizes the Tourism Foundation of Mato Grosso do Sul.

Part of the revenue will be allocated to support the projects of the participating NGOs, contributing to the funding of fire-combat brigades, wildlife rehabilitation, ecological restoration, and environmental education. The initiative also aims to give visibility to sustainable practices and promote nature tourism, with direct benefits to local communities.

Come discover the beauty beyond nature.
The real Brazil is waiting-colorful, festive, and full of unforgettable stories.
