Panama’s Darién Gap: Trafficking through Tribal Life
This is Panama, where armed traffickers will move over 750,000 migrants through the Darién Gap in 2024, trampling one of earth’s most critically endangered ecosystems. This is Sara Omi, an indigenous Emberá community leader in its Choco region, where sixty percent of her people have fled the human and environmental disaster. Daily intrusions drive out indigenous, long protecting and sustaining one of the globe’s most important old growth forests. The species-rich tropics has plant life known only to Panama (twenty percent of what grows here only grows here), all under an enormous mature canopy called the “natural lung” of the Americas, where Omi’s Emberá have thrived with Mother Nature for centuries.
