At the heart of these solutions are the knowledge, leadership, and perspectives of women.

In Guyana, Indigenous women carry deep lived experience and a strong connection to land. For generations, they have shaped their communities, their environments, and the way people relate to nature.

We are proud to share their stories.

๐ŸŒณForests carry many kinds of value.
In Guyana, more than 85% of the land remains forested; storing carbon, shaping rainfall, supporting biodiversity, and sustaining livelihoods. Much of this value, especially its role in the global climate, has not always been easy to see or quantify.
For over 16 years, the Guyana Forestry Commissionโ€™s Monitoring, Reporting and Verification System (MRVS) has been changing that, as the first national-scale system of its kind in the world.
Using satellite imagery, GIS, field verification, and independent review, the MRVS provides a clearer picture of forest cover, change, and carbon. It brings greater detail and confidence to how Guyana understands and communicates the role of its forests.
This Earth Day, we recognize the importance of making that value visible.
