Leonardo DiCaprio Instagram – Repost from @rewild • In a historic vote, the nation’s highest court ruled the Minera Panamá mining contract for an open-pit mine unconstitutional, marking a win for biodiversity, local communities, and our planet. Panama has an opportunity now to be a leader in safeguarding precious ecosystems and protecting biodiversity. This ruling champions the rights, voices, and well-being of local communities over profit-driven interests. This victory is also a beacon of hope for our planet’s future. Safeguarding irreplaceable ecosystems like these are critical to combating climate change and biodiversity loss. #PanamaTeQuieroVerde #PanamáValeMásSinMinería Video credits: Collaboration between @duletvindigena @waguafilms @mullu.tv & Passu Creative Community Indigenous protester – TV indígena and waguafilms Great Green Macaw – Hans Norelius, CC BY 2.0 Gemini’s Dart Frog Jaime Culebras / @photowildlifetours
