Dr Raquel Thomas-Caesar of the Iwokrama International Centre has been taking interesting shots of various parts in Guyana not easily accessible by many.
This is the most recent collection of photography from Dr Thomas-Caesar over at Iwokrama River Lodge. She has been sharing these on her Facebook page and they have served as a means of showcasing Guyana’s aesthetics to the wider world.
The Iwokrama forest and its research centre are unique, providing a dedicated site in which to test the concept of a truly sustainable forest, where conservation, environmental balance and economic use can be mutually reinforcing.
Drawing on its earlier work in sustainable forest management, the IIC is now, in close collaboration with the Government of Guyana, the Commonwealth and other international partners including the UK company Canopy Capital, developing a new approach to enable countries with rainforests to earn significant income from eco-system services and creative conservation practices.
The Iwokrama International Centre was established in 1996 under a joint mandate from the Government of Guyana and the Commonwealth Secretariat to manage the Iwokrama forest, a unique reserve of 371,000 hectares of rainforest, “in a manner that will lead to lasting ecological, economic and social benefits to the people of Guyana and to the world in general.”
