Map of Panama

Panama

Panama's geography has endowed the country with the ability to connect the world by both land and sea. By land, Panama's 75,517 km2 connect South America with Central America through its borders to the east with Colombia and to the west with Costa Rica. By sea, the country connects the Caribbean Sea to the north and the Pacific Ocean to the south thanks to the 82 kilometers of one of the most important engineering works in the world, the Panama Canal, thus accelerating and facilitating maritime communication and trade.

Wetlands perform a great number of socio-economic and ecological functions. Nonetheless, only few wetlands are under effective protection in Panama. UNDP envisages an array of measures designed to manage protected mangroves and other wetlands over an area of 13,800 ha. The measures are to be monitored and assessed with regard to their carbon dynamics. The project shall give greater priority to wetlands within Panama's national protected area system and will improve the capacity of the national environmental authority to manage protected areas.
