No. We share a similar concern. The Panamanian government has not shown the will to consistently apply environmental measures and protections within the country. I think one good example of this is how it has dealt with the protected area in the district of Donoso within the Meso-American biological corridor.
It's worth pointing out that in 2008 the International Union for Conservation of Nature, the IUCN, recommended a moratorium on all mining within this biological corridor, given its sensitivity, the endemic species found there, and the presence of primary forest. In Panama and the area in which Inmet is located in the district of Donoso, this is the third-last and largest forest within Panama.
While in 2009 there was a protected area designated for that area which should have started a process for the development of a management plan, the company immediately sought an injunction against that protected area, which stifled the management plan process from taking place. Even though that injunction was denied two years later, there were irregularities in the way that decision was made public. It was withheld from the public for four months and only released after the environmental authority had announced its approval of the company's EIA, environmental impact assessment. When the Supreme Court made that decision, the company did not disclose that information. Some months later, an administrative tribunal actually overturned that protection.
There are serious questions, then, about the will, and also the strength and independence, of the institutions and judicial system within Panama to ensure significant protections of important areas, both for their ecological value and also because they're where people live.
