Sacre River (Mato Grosso)

The Sacre River (Rio Sacre) is a river located in the state of Mato Grosso, Brazil. It is a tributary of the Sepotuba River, which in turn flows into the Paraguay River. The river's course lies primarily within the Pantanal biome, a vast tropical wetland.

The Sacre River is important for the biodiversity of the Pantanal and provides habitat for a variety of aquatic and terrestrial species. It is used for local transportation and small-scale fishing activities by communities in the region. Due to its location in the Pantanal, the river's water levels fluctuate significantly with the seasonal rains, affecting the surrounding ecosystem and human activities. The river is also subject to environmental pressures, including deforestation in the upper reaches of its watershed, which can lead to increased sedimentation and altered water quality. Further research and monitoring are needed to understand the full extent of the river's ecological significance and the impacts of human activities on its health.
