El Urabá-Darién por su ubicación y características geográficas ofrece un mosaico de ecosistemas tropicales, los cuales han sido incorporados al Sistema Nacional de Áreas Protegidas. En este documento, mediante una revisión de información, se reseñan las áreas protegidas de la región. Las cuales aportan aproximadamente 24.330 hectáreas al sistema; siendo cerca del 1% del territorio nacional y el 4,5% de sus áreas protegidas. En total doce (12) áreas se encuentran registradas; siete de carácter netamente terrestres, tres terrestres-costeras, una terrestre-costera y marina, y una marino-costera. Se describen aspectos fundamentales de cada una de ellas, como el proceso de declaratoria, ecosistemas protegidos, servicios ecosistémicos y amenazas en su interior. En la sección final, se presentan otras estrategias de conservación presentes en la región, y se plasman algunas reflexiones relacionadas con el contexto social y político, la representatividad de ecosistemas y las oportunidades y desafíos entorno a su conservación. Además, Información y puntos de vista que pueden ser de utilidad para autoridades de conservación y planeación. ; Urabá-Darién region offers a mosaic of tropical ecosystems due to its location and geographical characteristics, which have been incorporated into the National System of Protected Areas.

The six countries of the Gulf Cooperation Council face similar economic and political problems: falling oil revenues, growing budget deficits and increased demands on their foreign resources, a one-sided economic structure and increased pressure by public opinion for political rights. Their approaches to finding solutions have varied. Will these approaches be adequate to exploit the economic potential of the region in the future? Improvements in certain areas give ground for optimism.
