Flora and fauna saved in Panama Canal expansion


Four new gates, part of a group of sixteen gates to be used in the Panama Canal expansion works, arriving at the port of Colon, 90km from Panama City. Reforestation is being carried out to ensure ample water supply for the canal and local communities. - AFP

Rescue efforts ensure that rare animals and plants are not sacrificed in the Panama Canal expansion.

ROCKS and earth aren’t the only things being moved around during the Panama Canal expansion. Animals, birds and even a few insects – rare ones – have been trapped and relocated before the excavators and earth-moving equipment arrived.
