· Forest patches are a refuge for fauna living in areas threatened by habitat destruction.
· The construction of a deep water port would be highly damaging to local ecosystems.
· To guarantee the preservation of local ecosystems, independent, transparent studies must be carried out by scientific experts and their trained teams of students and researchers.

The interoceanic canal through Nicaragua will cause irreparable harm to Mesoamerican marine and terrestrial flora and fauna and the gene flow. We hope to save Nicaragua's biodiversity by collecting samples along the canal route to create a baseline DNA registry of existing species before canal damage makes this impossible. Many future treatments/cures for plant and animal diseases may be hidden among this unexplored biodiversity (think aspirin and quinine), as well as new resources for industry.
