Strengthening ecological connectivity in natural and productive landscapes between the Amistad and Darien biomes

The project aims to create an integrated system for conservation and sustainable management of natural resources, including biodiversity, in “the bridge” across the Amistad and Darien forests. This bridge/landscape as well as the Amistad and Darien biomes in Panama are facing biodiversity loss and fragmentation due to unsustainable land use practices and weak governance systems. This is leading to a decline in ecological connectivity between the two biomes and in the larger landscape, which is crucial for maintaining healthy ecosystems and supporting biodiversity.
