Summary

A significant increase in threats to protected areas in Colón, Panama, is jeopardizing their ecological integrity. The study reveals diverse challenges across four key sites—Parque Nacional Portobelo, Bosque Protector y Paisaje Protegido San Lorenzo, Área Recreativa Lago Gatún, and Paisaje Protegido de Isla Galeta—highlighting the need for urgent intervention. Researchers analyzed social, administrative, economic, legal, natural resource, and cultural dimensions using fieldwork and institutional data, identifying gaps in management effectiveness. Recommendations include strategic partnerships, enhanced education, scientific knowledge expansion, and increased trained personnel to mitigate threats and improve conservation outcomes.
