About the project

Las Delicias is a mangrove restoration project located right outside of the municipality of Bocas on Colón Island in the Bocas del Toro archipelago, Panama. In collaboration with Fundación Naturaleza Panamá and local authorities (the Mayor mandated the project). The Islote of Las Delicias nowadays has a large number of shorebirds that perch on the arbours built on the site so that they do not destroy the small seedlings planted with their weight. The area also boasts the presence of crabs, sea sponges, sea urchins, starfish, schools of small fish that use the larger mangrove trees to protect themselves from predators, as well as the growth of seagrass. Protecting this hybrid ecosystem (both marine and terrestrial) will also contribute to bringing back more species that live in the greater archipelago of Bocas del Toro including: 4 species of turtles, 28 species of reptiles and amphibians, 68 species of birds, and 32 species of mammals (including sloths and bats) which are found in the nearby islands. However, mangrove ecosystems in Las Delicias have suffered severe degradation due to erosion and rising sea levels due to mass tourism and exploitation. Over the next three years (2022-2025), local communities will plant a total of 10,000 native trees.
