"Panama’s Bocas del Toro is a stunning pocket of biodiversity, brimming with magnificent creatures like the leatherback sea turtle and brilliant coral – not to mention the immensely valuable mangrove forests. Once human activities destroy the natural ecosystem here, we might not get it back. We have a chance now to do what it takes to keep it intact and invest in a healthy future. I applaud the Champions for working towards a healthy tomorrow, not just for Panama, but the entire ocean."
