Ecosystems and Biodiversity in Panama

Panama is home to many different ecosystems and has an

amazing amount of biodiversity. Biodiversity refers to all the
different types of living things (plants, animals, etc.) in a certain
area. In Panama, a few hectares may be home to more species of
plants, fungi, animals and microorganisms than all the U.S. and
Canada combined! Why do you think Panama has so much
biodiversity? Well, over three million years ago, Panama rose up
through volcanic activity and created a bridge between North
America and South America. This allowed land and marine life to
migrate from north to south and south
to north! For this reason, many people call Panama the “biological corridor”. In Panama City,
there is a whole museum dedicated to the biodiversity in Panama called Biomuseo. A couple
common ecosystems in Panama are tropical islands, tropical dry forests and tropical mountain
forests. There is plenty of wildlife both on land in and in the water. Let’s start with the islands!
Two of my favorite island regions in Panama are San Blas and Bocas del Toro. These are both
found on the Caribbean side of the country and have beautiful
clear water, white sand, palm trees and lots of marine life!
The rural Los Santos region of Panama, Tonosi, is mostly
made up of tropical dry forests. It is called this because the
ecosystem has huge changes between the wet and the dry
season. In the wet season, around May to December, it rains
almost every day. The landscape is lush and green. In the dry
season, around December to April, there can be droughts and
the land turns from green to brown. Like most places in
Panama, there is a lot of wildlife. Whenever we go to Tonosi,
I always see monkeys
playing in the trees. I have also seen a lot of snakes, lizards and spiders there, too.
One of my favorite cities in Panama is called Boquete. It is in a tropical mountain forest. While
there are still wet and dry seasons, the land does not dry up as much as in the tropical dry
forests. Boquete and other tropical mountain forests in Panama are amazing for hiking, seeing
waterfalls, bird-watching and swimming in rivers. Volcan Baru, the highest point in Panama, is
found in this region. Another great thing about the tropical mountain forest of this region is the
coffee growth! The volcanic soil and proper amount of rainfall help produce some of the best
coffee in the world!

TOPIC EXPLANATION What are Natural Resources?

Natural Resources
 Are the resources that are found in the environment and are developed without the intervention of
humans. Common examples of natural resources include air, sunlight, water, soil, stone, plants,
animals, and fossil fuels.

What are the Different Types of Natural Resources?

Based on the availability are two types of natural resources:

1. Renewable: resources that are available in infinite quantity and can be used repeatedly are called
renewable resources. Example: Forest, wind, water, etc.
2. Non-Renewable: resources that are limited in abundance due to their non-renewable nature and
whose availability may run out in the future are called non-renewable resources. Examples include
fossil fuels, minerals, etc.

Difference between Renewable and Non-Renewable Resources

Renewable resource Non-renewable resource

It can be renewed as it is available in Once completely consumed, it cannot be renewed due

infinite quantity to limited stock

Sustainable in nature Exhaustible in nature

Replenish quickly Replenish slowly or do not replenish naturally at all

READING Let’s read about Natural Resources.

COMPREHENSION
Natural Resources
Natural Resources are the things that exist freely in nature human beings use for
survival. These things include the water, land, forests, animals, rocks, fossil fuels,
and minerals inside the Earth. Human beings did not create natural resources. They
have always been a part of the Earth before humans appeared.
Natural resources can be a solid, liquid, or gas. They can also be organic, coming
from living things, or inorganic, coming from a non-living source. They can also be
made out of metal or be non-metallic. All-natural resources are also either renewable
or non-renewable. Renewable resources are always available and can be easily
replaced or recovered. The examples of renewable resources include water, plants,
animals, the sun, wind, and a few others. Organic renewable resources come from
living things such as animals and trees. Inorganic renewable resources come from
non-living things such as the water, sun, and wind. Non-renewable resources cannot
be easily replaced once they are destroyed. Examples of these resources include fossil
fuels such as coal, petroleum, oil, and natural gas. Non-renewable resources may take
thousands or millions of years to be replaced.

COMPREHENSION

.
The word environment means simply what is around us. Some
people live in a town environment, for others, their environments is the
countryside. But the air we breathe, the soil we stand on and walk, the
water we drink are all part of the environment.
The most serious environmental problems are: different types of
pollution (water pollution, air pollution, noise pollution); destruction of
wildlife, deforestation, short age of natural resources and
overpopulation.
If we talk about water pollution, we see lots of problems. The Pacific
Ocean has suffered from nuclear pollution because the French
government tests nuclear weapons there. Many seas and oceans are
used for dumping industrial waste from plants and factories. This
poison kills fish and sea animals. Rivers are so poisoned too.
There is much to talk about air pollution. The main causes of air
Arial 12 pollution are exhausted fumes from cars and buses, waste from
nuclear power stations, factories and plants. Dust and wastes cause
acid rains which come to the earth again.

COMPREHENSION Let’s read about Pollution and its Negative Effects.
Pollution and its Negative Effects

Pollution is the degradation of natural environment by external substances introduced directly or

indirectly. Human health, ecosystem quality and aquatic and terrestrial biodiversity may be
affected and altered permanently by pollution.

Pollution occurs when ecosystems cannot get rid of substances introduced into the environment.
The critical threshold of its ability to naturally eliminate substances is compromised and the
balance of the ecosystem is broken.

The sources of pollution are numerous. The identification of these

different pollutants and their effects on ecosystems is complex.
They can come from natural disasters or the result of human
activity, such as oil spills, chemical spills, nuclear accidents ...
These can have terrible consequences on people and the planet
where they live:
destruction of the biodiversity, increased mortality of the human and
animal species, destruction of natural habitat, damage caused to
the quality of soil, water and air.

Preventing pollution and protecting the environment necessitate the

application of the principles of sustainable development. We have to consider to satisfy the needs
of today without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their needs. This means
that we should remedy existing pollution, but also anticipate and prevent future pollution sources
in order to protect the environment and public health. Any environmental damage must be
punishable by law, and polluters should pay compensation for the damage caused to the
environment.

Check understanding. Read each item and select

1. The damage caused by pollution might be irreversible:
a. True
b. False
2. The ecosystem

b. may not always be able to cope with pollution.

Basic principles for good nutrition

As we know, nutrition is the basic of health in the human being and a good nutritio the n will give us all
nutrients our body need, and good health, in consequence, it is recommended to:

 Have 4 meals a day. Breakfast, the most important ones. Lunch, dinner and a light snack.
 Eat slowly and chew food very well, to facilitate digestion when we chew well, we form a soft paste
the body can digest more easily and the body can absorb its nutrients better.
 Do not skip meal schedules. As food gives us the energy needed for our body to work properly, to
have good health and to have the strength to properly carry out our activities all along the day.
 Drink a minimum of 2 liters (8 glasses) of water every day. Soft drinks and bottled or canned juices
are high in sugar content: this is why honey sweetened lemonade or fresh fruit juices are
recommended.
 Eat low fat foods. Avoid fried food as it absorbs more grease, which may affect cholesterol, blood

Calories
 refer to the energy people get from the food and drink they consume.

READING Let’s read about Trans Fats.

COMPREHENSION

Trans Fats
Does your mouth water when you think of cookies, donuts, burgers and French fries? Many people
prefer junk food like this to healthy food because they develop a taste for
it. Processed, baked, and fried foods often contain a high amount of trans fats. Trans fats raise bad
cholesterol and lower the good cholesterol that your body needs. Fatty foods do more than cause
obesity. Trans fats build up in the body and block blood flow to the heart. People whose diet
contains a high percentage of trans fats are at risk of developing heart disease or having a stroke.
Food companies and restaurants choose to use trans-fat oils because they're cheap and they make
food like crackers and baked goods last longer. They also improve the taste and texture of food.
Trans fats became very popular in the second half of the 20th century. This is around the time butter
got a bad name for its cholesterol levels. People were told to use margarine containing trans fats
instead because it was "healthier", but we now know that butter is actually the healthier option. Food
and beverage makers must attach a Nutrition Fact label to their products. These list daily
recommendations and detail all the ingredients in a product, including trans fats if they're used. Fast
food chains such as McDonalds are being forced to change their recipes as people become more
health-conscious. Reading the list of ingredients on the label is a good way of avoiding dangerous
ingredients like trans fats. Another way is to avoid eating out, especially in fast food restaurants. The
healthier your diet is now, the longer and healthier your life will be.

Panama has different ethnic groups that make up the country

This diversity of cultures is reflected in our traditions,
customs, music and even cuisine. Talking about music you
find different versions from Colon to Bocas del Toro,
provinces inhabited for black African descendants. While in
Colon you can find out
the beaten drum with de Congo rhythm as a resemblance of the
slavery period. In Bocas del Toro,
they practice the May Pole
dance with a great Spaniard influence.

In Panama native and European cultures mixed up

to form a country without equal. The traditions and customs show
how from these two cultures emerge a new, one that is unique.
The ethnic diversity is reflected in the traditional products, such
as woodcarvings, pottery, folk dress for women and men,
ornament for garden and houses.

Panamanian cuisine varies from region to region but in the entire

country you will find a local version of our dishes: “arroz con
pollo” or “Sancocho”; Also, in a trip to the interior, you can find a
