Today is a monumental day for conservation in Panama and beyond.

We joined the Ministerio de Ambiente de Panamรก and the Key Biodiversity Areas Partnership to announce the official launch of Panama's National Key Biodiversity Areas (KBAs) Assessment by signing a Memorandum of Understanding.

This assessment will help identify the places that matter most for biodiversity conservation in Panama. It will directly support the country's National Biodiversity Strategy and Action Plan, guide national conservation priorities, and advance Panama's commitments under the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework.
