Where Inmet is located is not within one of the designated administrative areas, which are known as comarcas in Panama. It is located in the area of a number of indigenous communities that are living effectively outside of one of these areas—here, we might say “off reserve”. They are living in that area and have done so for a long time. The company is located within the Meso-American biological corridor and in an area where there have been attempts to protect it.
