© Josh Brannon This video shows two hyacinth macaws taking turns drinking from a basin filled with water in the Brazilian Pantanal. Today, Panthera is working to protect jaguars, who share their homes with animals like these, through the Pantanal Jaguar Project. Jaguars act as landscape guardians, which means their presence is indicative of healthy ecosystems that support thousands of plant and animal species, including hyacinth macaws, and humans.
