Last week, the Minister of Agriculture, Tereza Cristina, had already defended the same thesis that the ox is the “firefighter” of the region. The thesis does not agree with the experts. “We have heard from various sources the need to recognize the role of livestock in the Pantanal, since livestock also contribute to reducing excess organic matter, grass, in short, the grass that helps reduce,” said the minister.
