Panama's Minister of Environment, Juan Carlos Navarro, expressed his satisfaction that a mining project in Donoso is currently not operational. He affirmed his well-known anti-mining stance. An environmental audit of the project is underway, with the Ministry of Commerce and Industries responsible for releasing results and determining future steps. The minister emphasized that there are currently no updates regarding the mine.
Navarro's main focus is the environmental recovery plan for the Darién rainforest, impacted by irregular migration. He anticipates collaboration with the new US ambassador to advance this project.
The Ministry of Environment is actively promoting sustainable tourism to attract environmentally conscious visitors and investments.
