As Guyana and the rest of the world grapple with the effects of climate change, citizens are being urged to take incredible pride and an active role in preserving and protecting forests.
Environmentalists, forestry officials, and climate advocates stress that Guyana’s forests—part of the vital Amazon rainforest ecosystem—are crucial in reducing global carbon emissions, regulating climate, and sustaining biodiversity.
Authorities have underscored that each citizen is responsible for safeguarding this valuable resource by adopting eco-friendly practices such as reducing deforestation, avoiding pollution, and supporting sustainable initiatives.
The call comes amid increased efforts by the Guyanese government to implement its Low Carbon Development Strategy (LCDS) and other forest conservation programs that aim to balance environmental protection with national development.
Experts remind us that forests are essential for the future and that collective action today is critical to ensuring a sustainable planet for future generations.
