Guyana boasts an irresistible combination of fascinating and breathtaking natural beauty, pristine rainforests, immense waterfalls, and amazing wildlife, blended with a vibrant indigenous culture and diverse rich heritages.
Matt Hallett, a graduate student of the Miami University’s Institute for the Environment and Sustainability (IES), considers himself very honoured to see this natural beauty on a daily basis. Matt is continuously researching and exploring Guyana’s biodiversity for many years. He is also an affiliate of the Rupununi Learners Inc. and has been volunteering his time and knowledge towards returning the favour to the communities of the region’s indigenous villages.
His recent project is to document the number of jaguars in the richly diverse Kanuku Mountains Protected Area, by setting up remotely triggered cameras in Guyana’s deep jungle, hoping to catch the elusive big cat on film.
Matt has also been photographing scenic areas, rarely visited, in the Rupununi region. Guyana Times Sunday Magazine features this week a few of his breathtaking photos taken on his recent trips into Guyana’s jungle.
