Iwokrama Rainforest

Posted by pikeattack 16 May 2006

Elusive wild jaguars, breathtaking scenery, ancient cultures blending with new and innovative technologies, the only tourist canopy walkway in the Guianas ... where can you find all of this? In the Iwokrama Rainforest, which is nestled in the green heart of Guyana. A decade ago Guyana honoured its commitment to the international community with the establishment of the Iwokrama International Centre for Rainforest Conservation and Development, which manages almost one million acres (371,000 Ha) of the Iwokrama Rainforest, in order to show how tropical forests can be conserved and sustainably used to provide ecological, social and economic benefits to local, national and international communities.
