Seventeen loggers from five villages in the North Rupununi region of Guyana completed a two-week training course focused on reduced-impact logging.
The Natural Resources Ministry ran the course through its Sustainable Landscape Project. The training aimed to improve how forests are managed in the Upper Takutu-Upper Essequibo region. Loggers learned practices designed to lessen the environmental effects of timber harvesting. The ministry shared details of the training on its social media channels.
The course represents an effort to support long-term sustainability within Guyana’s forestry sector. Reduced-impact logging methods can help maintain forest health and biodiversity while allowing for timber extraction. The training took place in the North Rupununi, a remote area of Guyana known for its rainforests and Indigenous communities.
