At Iwokrama, education is an important part of conservation.
The Iwokrama Forest serves as a living laboratory for science, research, training and collaboration, providing opportunities for researchers, students and professionals to learn from the forest and explore practical approaches to biodiversity conservation and sustainable forest management.

But knowledge should not remain within the forest. Through training programmes, school and community outreach, exhibitions, conferences, workshops and environmental awareness activities, we share our work and encourage others to better understand and care for our natural environment.

We also support the Wildlife Clubs of the North Rupununi, where young people engage in wildlife observation, biodiversity monitoring, STEM activities, environmental education, public speaking and other hands-on activities that build their knowledge, confidence and leadership skills.

This Education Month, we celebrate the power of learning, sharing and applying knowledge to create a more sustainable future for our forests, wildlife and communities.
Many thanks to our partners for making these initiatives possible.

As we approach the end of the current grant period supported by the ExxonMobil Foundation, Iwokrama recently hosted an Open Day to showcase the work and achievements made possible through this partnership over the past four years.

The support has contributed to work across key areas including sustainable forestry, monitoring, science and research, community engagement, education, awareness and publications. It has also strengthened community-based initiatives through the NORTH RUPUNUNI DISTRICT DEVELOPMENT BOARD (NRDDB), particularly the Makushi Research Unit, supporting knowledge-sharing, research and conservation efforts across the North Rupununi.

A particular highlight has been the continued support of the North Rupununi Wildlife Clubs, one of our proudest community initiatives. At the Open Day, young environmental stewards participated in interactive STEM and Banner Competitions, showcasing their creativity, knowledge and skills.

The Open Day was an opportunity to reflect on the progress made, celebrate the people and communities involved, and highlight the impact of continued investment in conservation and youth development.

We extend our appreciation to the ExxonMobil Foundation for their partnership and support over the past four years.
