the Wildlife in the protected rain forests surrounding the Panama Canal
The Panama Canal Watershed has a surface of
552,761 hectares, approximately the size of the province of Herrera in
the Republic of Panama. Its resources have the potential to meet the
present and future water supply needs of most of the population of
Panama and Panama Canal operations.
The ecologic wealth of the Panama Canal Watershed constitutes an
important part of its conservation. Some 70 species of amphibians, 112
species of reptiles and approximately 546 species birds, among then the
toucan and the harpy eagle inhabit the area, and more than a hundred
thousand species of trees grow there. (Source of above info
