Guyana is home to unique and globally important ecosystems, including everything from pristine rainforests, to tropical savannahs, ancient tower-like mountain ranges, and large stretches of coastal mangroves. Not surprisingly, Guyana’s protected areas are full of plants and animals found nowhere else on earth. These areas cover about 8.4% of the country’s landmass, providing important refuges for biodiversity and livelihoods for indigenous communities.

Guyana’s protected areas system is now poised to double in size, with the recent pledge by the country’s government to protect an additional two million hectares. The Protected Areas Trust has a vital role to play in conserving these globally important ecosystems and will continue to support the growth and long-term sustainability of Guyana’s protected areas.
