Forest Landscape Restoration in Panama Project

Biodiversity

To the north of the Project, in Santa Fé Fe National Park, there are several species that are considered either vulnerable, endangered, or critically endangered.  Such species include:

• Bob’s robber frog (Craugastor punctariolus; endangered per the IUCN Red List);
• Glow-throated hummingbird (Selasphorus ardens; vulnerable)
• Lemur leaf frog (Hylomantis lemur; critically endangered);
• Musical rain frog (Pristimantis museosus; endangered); and
• Yellow-green finch (Pselliophorus luteoviridis; vulnerable).

This said, in the future, it is possible such species could utilize the project area upon it being reforested.

In addition to the creation of wildlife habitat and corridors, the Project will reduce erosion, improve water infiltration, and ameliorate soil health.
