Patria is in our flag, in our traditions, in our music and gastronomy. But it is also in the rivers, forests, seas and mangroves that surround us. Because nature is not only part of our territory; it is also part of our identity.<\/span><\/p>\n

Every November, Panama celebrates its National Feasts, an opportunity to remember its history and recognize what makes the country unique. And among all these symbols, there is a heritage that is often overlooked in these celebrations and that is l<\/span>an extraordinary biodiversity that has accompanied the Panamanian communities for centuries.<\/b><\/p>\n

Birds are also part of our history<\/b><\/h2>\n

Did you know that more than a thousand years ago, birds already had an important place in the cultural expressions of Panama? Among the archaeological findings from <\/span>El Ca\u00f1o, in Cocl\u00e9<\/b>, There are pieces of pre-Hispanic gold with representations of birds, testimony to their presence in the symbolic universe of the societies that inhabited the territory between the eighth and eleventh centuries.<\/span><\/p>\n

Today, a thousand years later, species like the <\/span>brown pelican (<\/b>Pelecanus occidentalis<\/i><\/b>)<\/b><\/a> They continue to be part of the landscape and natural heritage of Panama. This bird, emblematic of the coasts of Chiriqu\u00ed, finds spaces in the mangroves to rest and feed, while these ecosystems also offer refuge to numerous species of birds, fish, turtles, and other animals.<\/span><\/p>\n

The birds that are part of our history need living ecosystems in order to continue being part of our future.<\/b><\/p>\n

The Mangroves of Chiriqu\u00ed: a heritage that deserves protection<\/b><\/h2>\n

In the province of Chiriqu\u00ed is located approximately the <\/span>25% of the mangroves of Panama<\/b>, A natural heritage fundamental to biodiversity, the protection of the coasts and the lives of communities.<\/span><\/p>\n

The <\/span>Mangroves of David<\/b>, In the Gulf of Chiriqu\u00ed, they are part of that wealth. However, they face environmental concerns related to the project. <\/span>Puerto Baru<\/b>, This plan includes dredging and port infrastructure projects whose potential impacts have been questioned in scientific reports.<\/span><\/p>\n

In a country that recognizes <\/span>Rights of Nature<\/b> Through Law 287, protecting these ecosystems also means defending an essential part of their identity and heritage. Because being a patriot is not just about celebrating what we have inherited, <\/span>It is also about committing ourselves to what we want to leave to future generations.<\/b><\/p>\n

Making patria also means defending our nature<\/b><\/h2>\n

From the pre-Hispanic symbols to the birds that now fly over our coasts, nature has been present in Panama's history.<\/span><\/p>\n

And that story continues to be written with more than <\/span>32,800 people<\/b> They have added their voices to the petition to protect the Mangroves of Chiriqu\u00ed, demonstrating that the defense of natural heritage is also an expression of identity and civic commitment.<\/span><\/p>\n

In these celebrations, give space to what unites us: our traditions, our culture, and the ecosystems that make Panama unique.<\/span><\/p>\n

Because our mangroves deserve as much pride as our flag.<\/b>
\n<\/b>The land that unites us deserves to be defended.<\/b><\/p>\n

Let's make our country proud by defending our nature! \ud83c\uddf5\ud83c\udde6\ud83d\udc9a<\/b><\/p>\n

Sign the request<\/a> and join the defense of the David Mangroves.<\/span><\/p>\n
