Cane Island National Park in Panama is particularly significant for the two archaeological sites found in the area, which date back to over 1,600 years old.

The refuge also protects important mangrove ecosystems that provide habitat for different marine species. A picturesque fishing village located nearby offers their support to the staff of the National Environmental Authority (ANAM) to protect and manage the thousands of sea turtles that swim to its shores every year.
