Panama is home to many different ecosystems and has an amazing
amount of biodiversity. Biodiversity refers to all the different types of
living things (plants, animals, etc.) in a certain area. In Panama, a
few hectares may be home to more species of plants, fungi, animals
and microorganisms than all the U.S. and Canada combined! Why
do you think Panama has so much biodiversity? Well, over three
million years ago, Panama rose up through volcanic activity and
created a bridge between North America and South America. This
allowed land and marine life to migrate from north to south and south
to north! For this reason, many people call Panama the “biological corridor”. In Panama City,
there is a whole museum dedicated to the biodiversity in Panama called Biomuseo. A couple
common ecosystems in Panama are tropical islands, tropical dry forests and tropical mountain
forests. There is plenty of wildlife both on land in and in the water. Let’s start with the islands!
Two of my favorite island regions in Panama are San Blas and Bocas del Toro. These are both
found on the Caribbean side of the country and have beautiful
clear water, white sand, palm trees and lots of marine life!
The rural Los Santos region of Panama, Tonosi, is mostly made
up of tropical dry forests. It is called this because the ecosystem
has huge changes between the wet and the dry season. In the
wet season, around May to December, it rains almost every day.
The landscape is lush and green. In the dry season, around
December to April, there can be droughts and the land turns
from green to brown. Like most places in Panama, there is a lot
of wildlife. Whenever we go to Tonosi, I always see monkeys
playing in the trees. I have also seen a lot of snakes, lizards and spiders there, too.
One of my favorite cities in Panama is called Boquete. It is in a tropical mountain forest. While
there are still wet and dry seasons, the land does not dry up as much as in the tropical dry forests.
Boquete and other tropical mountain forests in Panama are amazing for hiking, seeing waterfalls,
bird-watching and swimming in rivers. Volcan Baru, the highest point in Panama, is found in this
region. Another great thing about the tropical mountain forest of this region is the coffee growth!
The volcanic soil and proper amount of rainfall help produce some of the best coffee in the world!
