The relationship of environmental damage with the inventory of cattle registered in the INEC for the period 2016 - 2020 was estimated. For the analysis, the variables evaluated were Year, Region, Damage, Forest, Water, Soil, Atmosphere, Marine Coast and Fauna, Human settlements, Fauna and flora, and Existence of cattle for breeding, milk and fattening by province. All records were described through their frequencies. The information was homogenized and grouped. The interrelation, through Principal Components Analysis, and the correlation of the variables were also evaluated. From the results it can be concluded that the number of records of damage to the environment continues to increase, the most frequent being fires and pollution due to hydrocarbon spills. The most affected resources have been the fauna and flora and the forests in the provinces of Panama and Chiriquí. The effects at the soil level were only registered for a third of the region, however problems with water, fauna and flora, atmosphere and forests were registered, at the national level. Fires and contamination due to hydrocarbon spills were frequent at the national level, and contamination by sewage and inadequate management of solid waste were registered in at least 3/4 and 1/10 of the national territory, respectively. The relationship of the presence of damage to the environment with the registration of fattening cattle was significant.
