Darß Nature Film Festival 2026, “Leuchtfeuer” Program Section
The film follows an expedition through Brazil’s Pantanal and the Amazon Rainforest in search of the jaguar. The team gains insight into monitoring, conservation programs, and fieldwork. While encounters with anacondas, caimans, and capybaras showcase the area’s biodiversity, it also becomes clear just how severely the climate crisis and wildfires threaten these ecosystems.
