What is the cost of deforestation?
In some places, logging companies can topple ancient giants for only $12 a tree! Help us conserve Panama’s natural wonders for the same price

Current Projects
Protecting Cerro Chucanti
Chucanti is an isolated mountain on the edge of Panama’s Darien province and contains a cloud forest habitat that boasts a high diversity of plants and animals — many of which are entirely new to science! However, it is under threat of deforestation from local agricultural practices.
Describing New Species
A number of brand new species have been discovered at our main site, Cerro Chucanti, over the past 10 years. Although some have already been formally described, others are still waiting to be named.
