The Hydroelectric Power Station of Changuinola I is
developed in the district of Changuinola, specifically in the “corregimiento”(small
territory division) of Valle de Risco, in the Province of Bocas del Toro,
located to the West of Panama.
This project is located within the Protected Area named
Bosque Protector Palo Seco-BPPS (a protected forest).
For the development of this project, signed a Contract of
Partial Administration, of land usage, with ANAM – Autoridad Nacional del
Ambiente (National Environment Authority), to manage an area of 6,215 Hectares
within the BPPS.
The BPPS has never been part of the indigenous region
Ngöbe nor its attached areas. These lands are property of the Republic of Panama
and therefore they are not subject to prescriptions of possessory rights by any
Panamanian citizen.
