Biomes / Ecosystems of Panama

The Mesoamerican Biological Corridor (MBC) is a remarkable conservation initiative in Central America that stands as a beacon of biodiversity preservation. Stretching from Mexico to Panama, this corridor encompasses a mosaic of ecosystems and is a critical link between numerous national parks, reserves, and protected areas. The MBC is a testament to the growing global awareness of preserving biodiversity and ecosystems.

Panama is the southernmost country of Central America, located on the elongated S-shaped Isthmus of Panama, the narrow land bridge that connects North and South America. Its landscape comprises three major physical regions: mountains, coastal lowlands, and archipelagos. Strategically positioned at the crossroads of North and South America, Panama stands out as a haven of remarkable biodiversity.
