Discover the superb pictures of the project led by CONAVI on the Escudo de Veraguas Island, with its many endemic species.
Fondation Ensemble supported twice this project on this small island, located nearly 15 km away from the Panamanian coast. It aims to ensure the island-endemic species survival, and in particular the very threatened pigmy sloath, thanks to fishing communities empowerment.
