PANAMA 
     
Staff and children gatehr in front of the Sanctuary for prayer for those who drown during the flood. 
Five Embera communities in the Darien province will have to be relocated after being..... It be came blazingly apparent during this entire crisis that there is a great need for help. Those affected may have lost their living. But not their Hope. They were crying. Save me, 0 God; for the floodwaters are up to my neck. Deeper and deeper I sink into the mire; we can't find a foothold. We are in deep waters, And the floods overwhelm us.  We are exhausted from crying for help our eyes are swollen from weeping our throat era parched.

 The Panamanian Government is doing all that they can possible do to protect the Border between Darien and Columbia Your can help make deference.

In the Dari6n Province the presence of outlaws has, for centuries, had both negative and positive impacts on the natural environment. On one hand, since the region has been left untouched by the government for years, the forest has been allowed to flourish creating an ideal habitat for endemic species. On the other hand, however, the recent spillover of the Deforesatioin.

In 2003, villages inhabited by the Kuna tribe people were attacked by Colombian paramilitaries. In the attack four indigenous community leaders were killed and three foreign journalists kidnapped.[12] Overall, about 500 Kuna have been displaced and are now living as Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) in Boca de Cupe.[10] Due to the lack of attention by the Panamanian government, some indigenous groups are preparing to take action. In the San Bias Archipelago, Kuna tribesmen have been establishing their own self-defense forces to protect their villages The armed conflict in Colombia has been ongoing since 1964, but it has only been felt in neighboring countries in this past decade. As stated above, Panama felt this impact in 1997 when the first paramilitary groups entered the Darien Province in pursuit of FARC

Colombian conflict has set a new stage for the Darien that involves excessive deforestation and poaching; both of which significantly threaten the fragile ecosystems and biodiversity
