The story of water

Water in all its forms is the essential fuel of Panama's bio-diversity. The extraordinary climate—one of the wettest, warmest, and most consistent in the world—provides the subtext for all the stories of life in Panama.

Water fuels the cycles of the forests, defines the characters of marine and freshwater ecologies, and is a powerful agent of change in places devastated by erosion. But ultimately, water, in its countless forms, is the greatest healing agent.
