Saving the land of lakes and volcanoes

With beaches on both the Atlantic and Pacific Coasts, volcanoes and lakes, tropical pine forests, wetlands and savannas, Nicaragua is in a key position to ensure connectivity between the jungles of southern and northern Central America. That's why The Nature Conservancy works in partnership with other organizations to conserve the country’s corridors and safeguard its biodiversity.
