JASON XV: Rainforests at the Crossroads, was held during the  2003-04 school year. The JASON Project engaged students and teachers in an exciting journey of discovery to explore the Isthmus of Panama region and its fascinating tropical rainforests. We will explore the unique role the Isthmus of Panama and its tropical rainforests played in furthering our global understanding of the interchange between Earth’s dynamic systems. JASON XV: Rainforests at the Crossroads  focused on the research, monitoring, and management of the region to better understand how it functions and how it changes through time. The project also looked at how human technology has influenced the geography, hydrology, and biology of Panama; and how technology is used to better understand how the world works.
