Paso Pacífico’s efforts are currently concentrated on developing Nicaragua’s first biological corridor to be implemented in areas of endangered tropical dry forests.
The Paso del Istmo is located in the Rivas province of southwestern Nicaragua. This corridor was originally designed for the Mesoamerican Biological Corridor Project.

Paso del Istmo corridor design is being updated to reflect current forest areas and linkages between these areas, as well as areas where local people or landowners are interested in participating in the corridor.
In the near future, Paso Pacífico will also begin to implement the Paso de la Sierra, an important in the Masaya, Granada, Managua and Carazo provinces. This corridor includes endangered tropical dry forests and transitional forests. The Sierra in Paso de la Sierra produce drinking water for nearly half of Nicaragua’s population.

In keeping with the visionary efforts started by the Paseo Pantera , Area de Conservación Guanacaste and Mesoamerican Biological Corridor projects, Paso Pacífico will work to create effective conservation corridors in the dry forests of Central America for years to come.
