NPDC

North Pakaraimas District Council is the representative body of the Patamona and Macushi Indigenous peoples. The NPDC holds title to roughly 333,284 hectares of village land–26% of their ancestral lands. RFUS supports NPDC in mapping the lands outside village boundaries and to determine the best way to conserve these lands in the face of expanding mining operations and other threats.
