Panama, 2011
In April we flew south to Panama to visit the historic Panama Canal area and sample its wildlife in the surrounding rainforest. The Canal needs a lot of rain to maintain water levels required to run the canal locks on both ends. Every time the lock doors open to the sea, a huge amount of water is released. The surrounding area is kept wild as a watershed to maintain water levels. Birds and animals are benefit from this need. We continued our journey into the central highlands around Anton.
