Amigos Support La MICA will encourage much needed conservation of the flora, fauna, habitat, and culture of Parque Nacional G. D. Omar Torrijos Herrera, Coclé Province, Republic of Panama, through research, education, outreach, and the exchange of such between the local people and worldwide visitors.

Parque Nacional G. D. Omar Torrijos Herrera (PNGDOTH) is located in Coclé Province in the Republic of Panama. The park straddles the Continental Divide and encompasses 25,275 hectares of lowland, mid-land, and montane Pacific and Atlantic habitat. PNGDOTH is rich in biodiversity, local culture, and Panamanian history.  Amigos Support La MICA will work to help preserve the habitat, flora, fauna, and culture of PNGDOTH.  Such efforts will be facilitated by the development of La MICA Biological Station (La Montaña para Investigación y Conservación Ambiental or the Mountain for Research and Environmental Conservation) and the programs of research, education, and outreach that will be conducted through the station. La MICA will be constructed, operated, and supported primarily by the local people of PNGDOTH, thus bringing sustainable, conservation-oriented work to this impoverished area of central Panama. The exchange of information and opportunities that will occur will positively impact people from around the world and promise to make a real difference in conservation and humanity.
