In the ensuing disturbances, nine of the demonstrators were arrested and one suffered gun-shot wounds to the head and face. After arrest, the detainees were taken to the vastly over-crowded and substandard Cárcel Modelo in Panama City, where they are said to have been held incommunicado, and not permitted to inform relatives and lawyers of their whereabouts. Lawyers working on their behalf secured their return to Veraguas, after arguing that the transfer to Panama City was illegal. Liborio Concepción, who was injured in the confrontation, is reportedly now hand-cuffed to his bed at the Hospital de Santiago in Veraguas. Anselmo Acosta, also detained, is only twelve years old. Another detainee, Ana Acosta, is pregnant, but has apparently not been given any medical attention. Lawyers also complain that the charges against the detainees have, as yet, not been made clear. Concern has also been expressed that legal proceedings have not been completed within the time limits specified by Panamanian law, and that there has been no response to the writs of habeas corpus, nor requests for bail filed on behalf of the detainees.

  • Notes on Amphibians and Reptiles from Western Panama
    Herpetology Notes, volume 13: 219-229 (2020) (published online on 09 March 2020) Notes on amphibians and reptiles from western Panama Abel Batista1,5,*, Andreas Hertz4, Marcos Ponce2, and Sebastian Lotzkat3 Abstract. Panama is a hotspot of amphibian and reptile diversity and many areas of the country still remain underexplored. Here we present results of our field work carried out through several years in western Panama, further increasing the numbers of amphibian and reptile species known from the country. We provide the first country records for Smilisca manisorum and Lepidophyma reticulatum. Additionally, we extend the known distributional ranges of Pristimantis taeniatus, Pleurodema brachyops, Leptodactylus fuscus, Bachia blairi, Basiliscus plumifrons, Anolis auratus, A. capito, A. cryptolimifrons, A. humilis, A. kemptoni, A. pseudopachypus, Geophis godmani, Mastigodryas pleei, and Bothriechis supraciliaris. Keywords. Amphibia, distribution, new record, herpetofauna, Panama, Reptilia Introduction van den Burg, 2012). Despite these manifold novelties, the amount of herpetological exploration in western The herpetofauna of Panama has been studied in Panama is still unsatisfactory (Köhler et al., 2008; various areas, with most work concentrated in central Lotzkat, 2014; Hertz, 2015). Panama (Ibáñez et al., 2001; Crawford et al. 2010; The aim of this paper is to provide new records of Voyles et al., 2018). However, there are notable surveys amphibians and reptiles from western Panama, as a since the mid-nineteenth century that were carried out in result of our surveys in the region from 2004 to 2012. western Panama (e.g., Dunn, 1924, 1940, 1947; Slevin, We include two new country records for Panama, and 1942; Myers and Duellman, 1982; see summaries in 14 distribution extensions.

  • In This Part of Veraguas Province There Is No Establish- Ed Means Of
    RUBBER ECONOMY IN PANAMA 809 In this part of Veraguas province there is no establish- ed means of overland transportation and it was necessary to rely on water routes to bring out the rubber and to tak e in the supplies and equipment . In as much as the project was to be run on a large scale with the most efficient divi- sion of labor possible, it was necessary to bring in almos t all of the foodstuffs of the workers who could concentrat e on rubber production without the worries of providing their own. foodstuffs from the land. The transportation problem between the central camp - site at Mariato and the warehouses in Panama City wa s resolved by operating a large work-boat from the Mariat o landing across Montijo Bay and up the San Pablo river t o the highway bridge just outside the town of Soná west o f Santiago de Veraguas . At this bridge the boat was me t by a chartered truck loaded with supplies from Panam a City. At this point the boat and truck exchanged cargoe s and returned to their respective starting points. When the project was getting under way the country - side around Mariato was found to be practically withou t inhabitants in as much as the isolation of the place an d the very damp weather made the place unattractive to set- tlers. The campesinos of the nearby parts of Veraguas province were not inclined to leave the relative securit y of their own small farms to go over the bay to a type of work unknown to them and under such unfavorabl e circumstances.

    Primate Conservation 2011 (26): Published electronically prior to print. Population Size, Distribution and Conservation Status of Howler Monkeys (Alouatta coibensis trabeata) and Spider Monkeys (Ateles geoffroyi azuerensis) on the Azuero Peninsula, Panama Pedro G. Méndez-Carvajal Department of Anthropology, School of Social Science and Law, Oxford Brookes University, Oxford, UK Fundación Pro-Conservación de los Primates Panameños (FCPP), República de Panamá Abstract: The Azuero howler monkey, Alouatta coibensis trabeata, and the Azuero spider monkey, Ateles geoffroyi azuerensis, are endemic to the Azuero Peninsula, southwestern Panama, Central America and they are considered Critically Endangered. They are threatened by deforestation, poaching, and illegal trade. I carried out population surveys of the two subspecies from April 2001 to June 2009. The study covered potential habitats for these primates in the three provinces where they are believed to occur (Herrera, Los Santos and part of Veraguas). Surveys determined their occurrence and locations in each province. In all, 7,821 hrs were spent in survey activities. I used four methods: 1) Direct observation of presence/absence; 2) triangulations based on vocal- izations; 3) strip-transect censuses, and 4) road counts. Forty-five Azuero howler monkey groups were seen and counted, totaling 452 individuals with a mean of 9.6 individuals/group, SE ±3.3 (range = 3–26). I estimate approximately 322 howler groups and c. 3,092 individuals remaining in the wild in the three provinces. For the Azuero spider monkey, 74 individuals in 10 sub-groups and five complete groups were counted directly, with a mean of 3.8 individuals/subgroup, SE ±0.6 (range 2–7) and a mean of 12.5 individuals/group, SE ±3.7 (range 10–22).

While open-pit mining is a relatively new industry to Panama already projects have begun to be developed in the country with many more still at the exploration or permitting stage. The vast majority of these mining concessions are in rural areas, primarily on indigenous or campesino land. Traditionally these areas have been marginalised and neglected by central governments, suffering from high levels of poverty and lacking key infrastructure.

Reina Torres de Arauz, Consultant, Human Ecology Studies, under U. S. Atomic Energy Commission Contract No. AT(26-1)-171 BATTELLE MEMORIAL INSTITUTE Columbus Laboratories 505 King Avenue Columbus, Ohio 43201 FOREWORD The purpose for presenting this special report is to furnish, to the scientists and technicians planning a new interoceanic canal, socioeconomic data of the Península of Azuero, an area which the undersigned considers of immediate concern. This report also can be considered as an introduction to more detailed studies that should be under taken in this región very soon as a natural and logical supplement to the studies being done elsewhere in the geographic sector of Route 17. The Archipelago de Las Perlas, lying in the Golfo de Panama near the Southeastern coast of the Republic, also should b the object of an in-depth study. The period during which these proposed investigations would be performed is im- portant, and the studies ideally should be effected within a short time of each other so that a cióse relationship and equilibrium among the diverse data now being obtained might be secured.

  • Destino Golfo De Montijo Y Parque Nacional Coiba
    Guía de Atractivos Ecoturísticos Destino Golfo de Montijo y Parque Nacional Coiba Recomendaciones de buenas prácticas para la visitación Guide for Eco-touristic Attractions Destination Gulf of Montijo and Coiba National Park Recommendations for Good Practices During the Tour Guía de Atractivos Ecoturísticos Presentación El Golfo de Montijo, Humedal de Importancia Internacional (Ramsar), alberga escenarios naturales de manglares, esteros, desembocaduras de ríos, islotes e islas, etc, así como también es una ruta marítima hacía islas como Cebaco y Gobernadora, y un punto de partida hacía un Patrimonio Natural de la Humanidad conocido como Parque Nacional Coiba, todos ubicados en el pacífico Veragüense, provincia de Veraguas. Estos escenarios naturales encierran una gran biodiversidad de flora y fauna, y atractivos que invitan al interesado en la naturaleza, a involucrarse en aventuras que pueden aumentar su adrenalina, así como estimular su conciencia ambiental y aprendizaje, al reconocer, que a pesar de que son inmensos paisajes naturales que parecieran infinitos e indomables, son en realidad ecosistemas sensibles y vulnerables, y si no se tiene el cuidado de no alterar el equilibrio natural, alcanzado a través de muchos años de existencia, se pondrían en riesgo, si no se consideran al menos, criterios mínimos que contribuyan al menor impacto de los mismos, disfrutandolos así de forma responsable. En este sentido, esta guía presenta una pequeña parte de las oportunidades ecoturística de la región del Golfo de Montijo y el Parque Nacional Coiba, presentándole algunos atractivos, sin que estos sean una lista exaustiva y única, pues en su exploración podrían encontrar muchos otros, pero si una orientación general para su visita a la región, la cual aún, a pesar de que cuenta con algunas comodidades de la vida moderna y adecuaciones para los asentamientos humanos que le habitan, se mantiene con cierta pristines y lugares que son únicos.
