The Pan American Highway stretches 16,000 miles from Patagonia, Argentina, to Alaska in North America. The only break in the highway is this 108 kilometer gap between South America and central America, a densely forested network of rivers and swamps that renders vehicle traffic impossible. A critical bridge for the exchange of plant and animal species between the two continents, the Darien is one of the most genetically rich and unique areas of wild habitat in the world, a “Motherland of biodiversity.” While ecologists are concerned about the effects of unregulated mining and logging on this wilderness, a greater threat is the oft-proposed construction of a road. If built, the Pan-American Highway project will cut through the forest, bringing colonists, war and more deforestation to this extraordinarily diverse habitat.
