El medio El Pa\u00eds pone el foco en lo que est\u00e1 ocurriendo en Panam\u00e1 y resalta la participaci\u00f3n de comunidades, organizaciones y defensores que han alzado la voz frente al proyecto de Puerto Bar\u00fa. Pero lo que revela el reportaje va m\u00e1s all\u00e1 de un conflicto ambiental, expone una tensi\u00f3n m\u00e1s profunda \u00bfqu\u00e9 ocurre cuando defender la naturaleza empieza a tener consecuencias legales, econ\u00f3micas y pol\u00edticas?<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Del territorio a los tribunales<\/b><\/h2>\n

A comienzos de este a\u00f1o, dos organizaciones clave en la defensa ambiental, Adopta Bosque Panam\u00e1 y Centro de Incidencia Ambiental (CIAM), recibieron una notificaci\u00f3n inesperada de que sus cuentas bancarias y bienes hab\u00edan sido congelados. No fue una decisi\u00f3n aislada, se dio en medio de un proceso legal impulsado por la empresa promotora del proyecto, Ocean Pacific Financial Services.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Desde 2023, estas organizaciones ven\u00edan cuestionando la construcci\u00f3n del puerto por sus posibles impactos en un ecosistema cr\u00edtico los manglares protegidos del Golfo de Chiriqu\u00ed.<\/span><\/p>\n

Una disputa por la verdad<\/b><\/h2>\n

El conflicto no es solo ambiental, es tambi\u00e9n narrativo, por un lado, organizaciones que advierten sobre riesgos: dragado, alteraci\u00f3n de ecosistemas marinos, impactos en manglares y especies que dependen de ellos. Por otro, la empresa desarrolladora, que desinforma en rechazo de estas afirmaciones y sostiene que las acciones legales responden a lo que considera una campa\u00f1a difamatoria.<\/span><\/p>\n

Guido Berguido, director de Adopta Bosque, afirma en el <\/span>El Pa\u00eds <\/span><\/a>que la empresa \u201cha buscado atacar y silenciar a las dos organizaciones que hemos sido m\u00e1s vocales\u201d. En agosto de 2025, les puso querellas criminales por injuria, calumnia y delitos contra la econom\u00eda. el actuar del promotor del proyecto \u201cEs un cl\u00e1sico ejemplo de lo que llaman SLAPP\u201d, comenta el director, refiri\u00e9ndose a lo que en ingl\u00e9s se conoce como <\/span>Strategic Lawsuit Against Public Participation<\/span><\/i> y que alude a un <\/span>litigio intimidatorio <\/span><\/a>en el que no necesariamente se busca ganar, sino agotar al otro.<\/span>
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Acciones legales que da\u00f1an la democracia<\/b>
\n<\/b>
\n<\/b>Seg\u00fan lo que recoge el reportaje, <\/span>CIAM y Adopta Bosque viven d\u00edas complejos: se quedaron sin recursos para cumplir su misi\u00f3n.\u00a0<\/span>
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Las organizaciones ambientales no bajan los brazos como pueden siguen levantando la voz. Como indica el reportaje, autoridades<\/span> como el ministro de Ambiente de Panam\u00e1, Juan Carlos Navarro, dijo a <\/span>medios de comunicaci\u00f3n<\/span><\/a> locales que, a nivel personal, le parec\u00eda una medida desafortunada. \u201cNo beneficia en nada al di\u00e1logo nacional que tiene que haber sobre temas de vital importancia como son nuevos proyectos que van a tener un impacto ambiental\u201d, asegur\u00f3. <\/span>
\n<\/span>
\n<\/span>La Red Regional Escaz\u00fa Ahora tambi\u00e9n public\u00f3 un comunicado resaltando su preocupaci\u00f3n. Panam\u00e1 es uno de los pa\u00edses que ya ratific\u00f3 el Acuerdo de Escaz\u00fa, en el que uno de los ejes es, precisamente, el derecho a la participaci\u00f3n ciudadana en la gesti\u00f3n ambiental. \u201cQue suceda esto en Panam\u00e1 es un mal precedente para la regi\u00f3n, para Centroam\u00e9rica\u201d, se\u00f1ala Carolina S\u00e1nchez, vocera de la <\/span>Red del Gran Caribe Libre de F\u00f3siles<\/span><\/a>. \u201cAdem\u00e1s de que estamos en un momento de gran polarizaci\u00f3n, las organizaciones que defendemos el ambiente hemos tenido un impacto econ\u00f3mico gigante durante el \u00faltimo a\u00f1o por las pol\u00edticas exteriores de otros pa\u00edses. Y esto nos pone en una encrucijada\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n

Cuando el conflicto deja de ser invisible<\/b><\/h2>\n

Lo que est\u00e1 pasando en Panam\u00e1 ya no ocurre en silencio, las voces que defienden los manglares est\u00e1n siendo escuchadas m\u00e1s all\u00e1 de sus fronteras. Hoy lideran la narrativa de la verdad, de la defensa y sobretodo de la valent\u00eda proque a pesar de lo dif\u00edcil que ha sido sostener esta campa\u00f1a no se dejan amedrentar por el poder y siguen con argumentos y ciencia que los respalda.<\/span><\/p>\n
