Panama Bay, Panama, is one of the most important wintering and stopover areas for shorebirds in the western hemisphere. ACS conducted a Conservation Landscape Assessment of Panama Bay for the David & Lucile Packard Foundation. A research team, including natural scientists, social scientists, architects, and land use planners, conducted primary and secondary research, including stakeholder interviews across all sectors in Panama City. The goal was to assess the state of shorebird habitat protection in Panama Bay and how it fits into the larger landscape and dynamics surrounding the Panama City metropolitan area. We also provided a series of broad, forward-looking recommendations to improve wetland and shorebird protection.
