Coiba National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage site in Panama, is a biodiverse marine and terrestrial reserve encompassing Coiba Island and 38 smaller islets in the Pacific Ocean. Spanning over 430,000 hectares, it protects a range of ecosystems, including tropical rainforests, coral reefs, and mangroves, which support unique species like the Coiba howler monkey and rare marine life. Established as a national park in 1991 and recognized by UNESCO in 2005, it serves as a critical sanctuary for conservation and scientific research.
