In the largest section of the Canal (Gatun Lake), the Barro Colorado Island was declared a biological reserve in 1923. It offers a great variety of plant and animal life, especially monkeys, and has become a worldwide recognized site for scientific research. Since 1946 it is under the administration of the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute.
