Due to the natural rich environment of the region, it’s possible to develop new activities such as ecotourism and research, which establish the sustainable cycle of Caiman. As it creates a new enterprise, ecotourism contributes in many positive ways. It creates new opportunities for work, raises the quality of life of the Pantanal habitants and values the people and the traditions of the region. Besides that, the knowledge creation is of great importance to keep biodiversity preserved and know more about the local biodiversity, gathering new ways to develop and promote the Pantanal. To generate awareness of the biome globally and to strengthen the relationship between livestock and ecotourism is a constant and gratifying challenge for Caiman, with many positive results that increasingly motivate the greatness of the involved projects.

Caiman is the name the current owner came up with to represent Caiman's initiatives for conservation and regional progress.The refuge is made up of the property where the three principle initiatives are located. The three activities, raising livestock, ecotourism and conservation live in perfect harmony in the same 53,000 hectare area. Caiman looks to demonstrate the viability of allying conservation and progress with respect to nature by adapting its intitiatives to the Pantanal and its unique cycle of nature while respecting the cultures and traditions of its inhabitants and promoting new ideas to develop and bring progress to the region. The creation of the Caiman can best be explained as the creation of a real world social and nature laboratory.
