Sustainable wildlife management in Guyana / People Not Poaching

About us

The sustainable wildlife management (SWM) Guyana programme seeks to ensure that the Rupununi region can continue to offer sustainable options for food security and livelihoods in accordance with traditional lifestyles, while maintaining healthy fish and terrestrial wildlife populations at the landscape level. It has been locally recognised since the early development of the programme that the sustainable use of wildlife in the Rupununi will only be possible if action is taken to reduce the illegal wildlife trade.
