Panama

Why did we choose Panama?

• It has relatively high forest cover, which is concentrated in indigenous lands.
• There is a legal window of opportunity to demarcate new indigenous areas.
• There is an opportunity to bring together indigenous organizations fighting for the demarcation of their collective lands.

Current Projects

Helping the Wounaan people of Panama secure their rights to 470,000 acres of their ancestral lands.
