About Guyana

An aerial view of Kaieteur Falls in southern Guyana

Guyana is a small, lightly populated country on the north coast of South America. About three-quarters of Guyana is forested, roughly 60 percent of which is classified as primary forest. Guyana’s forests are highly diverse: the country has some 1,263 known species of amphibians, birds, mammals, and reptiles, and 6,409 species of plants. Guyana’s Low Carbon Development Strategy outlines our country’s vision to promote economic development, while at the same time combating climate change. (More at Mongabay)
