In 2000, Panama had almost 45 per cent forest cover, down from about 70 per cent in 1947, making a national REDD+ Programme imperative for the future of its forests. At present, some of the main drivers of deforestation and degradation are logging operations, infrastructure development and cattle ranching. The overall objective of the UN-REDD National Programme in Panama is to assist the government of Panama in developing an effective REDD+ regime. In October 2009, US$5.3 million was approved by the UN-REDD Programme Policy Board for Panama’s National Programme.
