Photo by @christianziegler. Coiba island, Latin America’s largest uninhabited island (some 500 square kilometers) off the Pacific coast of Panama is a truly unique place with lots of endemic species of animals and plants. Having been a penal colony for almost 100 years until 10 years ago, it is still covered with lush rainforest that has long gone on the mainland, and surrounded by a rich ocean environment - a time capsule with high conservation value. Together with my colleague @timlaman, I am working on celebrational photo essay about Coiba National Park which will be posted here and on our accounts over the next couple of weeks. Scientists gather around a bon fire on the beach at night on Jicaron, a remote island off the southern coast of Coiba. Our expedition member and bird expert George Angehr created the fist bird list for Jicaron. Photoexpedition to Coiba Island/ Panama coordinated by the International League of Conservation Photographers (see more @iLCP_photographers). Fusing scientific exploration and photography to support Coiba’s #conservation : 30 biologists, plus photographers @ChristianZiegler and @TimLaman on assignment for @GEOMagazin. #Panama, #Coiba #exploration #expedition #biodiversity
