Guyana

Why did we choose Guyana?

• It has high forest cover and very low rates of deforestation
• There is a critical need to clarify land tenure and demarcate indigenous lands.
• It is a pilot country for international climate change initiatives focused on avoiding deforestation.
• We have a long-term partnership with the national representative organization of indigenous peoples.
• There is very little international support for indigenous peoples in Guyana.

Current Projects:
