Volunteers from Banistmo and Fundación Natura join the conservation of the Panama Canal Basin
In an initiative that highlights the importance of community collaboration and environmental preservation, 30 Banistmo volunteers joined the Natura Foundation team in the Panama Canal Basin. Together, they contributed to the conservation of forest cover and the management of water resources in the sub-basin of the Cirí Grande and Trinidad rivers.
The Panama Canal Basin, an area of vital importance due to its biodiversity and its role in regulating water resources, is essential for the country’s sustainability. The protection of its forest cover is essential to preserve the ecosystem and ensure a quality water supply.
In a joint effort, these volunteers dedicated themselves to the reforestation of 2 hectares in the community of Las Petras, located in Capira, Panama Oeste. The planting of native trees and native vegetation was a concrete step towards a greener and more sustainable future.
The work was not limited to tree planting, as the volunteers also focused on raising awareness about the importance of environmental conservation. They learned about local biodiversity and the critical role forests play in sequestering carbon and regulating water resources.
This effort represents an important step in preserving a site of national interest and protecting local biodiversity. The Panama Canal Basin is a natural treasure that deserves to be cared for and protected.
The collaboration between 30 Banistmo volunteers and the Natura Foundation team demonstrates how working together can make a significant difference in environmental conservation and the promotion of sustainable practices.
This reforestation project is not just an isolated act, but one more step on the long path towards the protection of the Canal Basin and the sustainable management of its natural resources. This teamwork is a reminder of the importance of conserving our environment and the need to protect sites of national interest for future generations. The Canal Basin is a treasure that deserves to be preserved, and actions like this bring us one step closer to that goal.
