Naturparadies Guyana NATURPARADIES GUYANA Reiseplaner NATURE‘S BEATING HEART Willkommen in Guyana Guyana liegt im Norden Südamerikas am Atlantik, eingerahmt von Venezuela, Suriname und Brasi- lien. Besuchern garantiert das einzige englischsprachige Land Südamerikas außergewöhnliche Er- lebnisse in einem bisher wenig beachteten Reiseland. Bei weniger als 1.000 Besuchern im Jahr aus Deutschland, Österreich und der Schweiz können Sie sich sicher sein – ihre Nachbarn treffen sie hier nicht, egal ob im 183.000 km umfassenden tropischen Regenwald mit seiner unübertroffenen Pflanzen- und Tierwelt, bei den Kaieteur Falls – einem der weltweit mächtigsten Wasserfälle – oder auf Safari in der Weite der endlosen Savannenlandschaft im Südwesten des Landes. In Guyana spielen die touristischen Angebote der indigenen Gemeinden eine ebenso wichtige Rolle wie Nachhaltigkeit und Naturschutz. Nur rund 16 % der gesamten Fläche des Landes sind besiedelt, im Rest erwarten Sie Natur pur und jede Menge Abenteuer. 02 03 Walter Roth Museum Geschichtsmuseum mit Relikten und Hauptstadt Georgetown informativen Ausstellungen zu den indigenen Völkern Guyanas.

Unvergesslich ist der Blick auf die tosenden Fluten des Potaro Flusses, wenn dieser sein Bett verlässt, um 226 m dröhnend in die Tiefe der Kaieteur Gorge zu stürzen. Von der natürlichen Plattform direkt neben dem Wasserfall hat man den besten Blick. Jetzt bloß keinen falschen Schritt machen! Ein rundum magischer Ort: kaum Menschen, keine Absperrungen – Naturgewalt pur! Die Gesamtzahl der Besucher ist ungefähr die gleiche, die Machu Picchu in Peru erreicht – dort allerdings an einem Tag, hier im ganzen Jahr! 4x HÖHER ALS DIE NIAGARAFÄLLE 06 07 Shell Beach Schutzgebiete DAS HERZ GUYANAS Eine fantastische Flora und Fauna sind die Markenzeichen der fünf Schutz- Der Rupununi River gebiete von Guyana: Kaieteur National Park, Iwokrama Rainforest Reserve, Kanuku Mountains, Shell Beach sowie die Konashen Community-owned Conservation Area.

An den Ufern des Essequibo Victoria Amazonica befi nden sich verschiedene historische Sehenswürdigkeiten ALLES IM FLUSS wie die Forts Zeelandia und Kyk-Over-Al sowie eine Reihe wei- terer Relikte der niederländischen Kolonialgeschichte. Guyanas Ströme DEMERARA Der Demerara River entspringt in den dichten zentralen Regenwäldern von Guyana und fl ießt mehr als 340 km nach Norden, um bei Georgetown in den Atlantik zu münden. Auf den zahllosen Inseln im Flusslauf sowie entlang der Ufer trifft man auf eine reichhaltige Artenvielfalt.

  • National Aviation Safety Conference 2017 Final Report
    NATIONAL AVIATION SAFETY CONFERENCE SAFETY – THE PILLAR OF SUSTAINABILITY Georgetown, 26 – 27 October 2017 Final Report OPENING OF THE CONFERENCE 1. INTRODUCTION 1.1 The National Aviation Safety Conference 2017 (NASC-2017) was hosted by the Guyana Civil Aviation Authority in collaboration with the aviation industry in Guyana at the Pegasus International Hotel during the period 26-27 October 2017, under the theme “Safety – The Pillar of Sustainability”. The Ministry of Public Infrastructure supported the collaborative approach towards hosting the conference. The GCAA has been making strides in improving Guyana’s level of safety compliance and in the implementation of international standards to which Guyana must comply as a signatory State to the Convention on International Civil Aviation. In this regard, Guyana’s compliance with ICAO moved from 44% to 64% after an assessment was conducted subsequent to the International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO) Coordinated Validation Mission (ICVM) in November 2016. However, within the last three months, the domestic aviation industry has witnessed three aircraft accidents within the hinterland regions, two of which were fatal. The NASC-2017 was organized to emphasize the critical importance of safety by all stakeholders, as the very sustainability of the industry is threatened if the sector is not safe, particularly considering the recent aircraft accidents. Moreover, the NASC-2017 sought to bring together investors, aviation safety managers, pilots, engineers, aviation experts/consultants and strategic decision-makers of the aviation sector in Guyana to create an opportunity to build consensus, obtain commitments and formulate recommendations deemed necessary for the enhancement and preservation of safety. The conference also aimed to educate and empower participants on relevant and current issues such as human factors, quality assurance and other pertinent areas that are of pressing concern to the Guyana aviation sector.

    NATIONAL DEVELOPMENT STRATEGY (2001-2010) A POLICY FRAMEWORK ERADICATING POVERTY AND UNIFYING GUYANA A CIVIL SOCIETY DOCUMENT ANNEX 8 TRANSPORT Date of Publication: November 2000 Date finalised by Sectoral Committee: May 1999 Equivalent Chapter in Core Document: Used as Background Material for Chapter 4 The Annexes to the National Development Strategy: An Explanatory Note In June 2000, the National Development Strategy (NDS) of Guyana was formally presented to the President of Guyana and the Leader of the Opposition in the form of a core document, a 348 page distillation of the main elements of the analysis of the Guyana situation and the resulting strategy for action drawn from material prepared by 24 sectoral committees of the National Development Strategy Committee (NDSC). While Chapter 1 of the core document provides an outline of the origins of the NDS and the methodology of its preparation, the purpose of the present note is to explain the Annexes to the core document. The Annexes are edited versions of the original drafts that the sectoral committees prepared, using a format that facilitated systematic thinking, though at the cost of some repetition. They are therefore longer than the corresponding Chapters of the core document, and also differ from them in other ways: 1. While the Annexes were individually edited in terms of their content, in the core document, disagreements or dissonances between Chapters were removed; for example, if the Chapter on the Private Sector proposed a strategy for Education that was in contradiction with a strategy proposed in the Chapter on Education, the two were rationalised.

    Waukauyengtipu and Uchii River Uplands Expedition 2019 – report with photographic observations of carnivorous flora of the Paruima territory in the Cuyuni-Mazaruni Region of Guyana Mateusz Wrazidlo • Department of Fundamentals of Machinery Design • Faculty of Mechanical Engineering • Silesian University of Technology • Konarskiego 18a • 44-100 Gliwice • Poland • [email protected] • https://orcid.org/0000-0001-5383-1906 Keywords: Guiana Highlands, Waukauyengtipu, tepui, Guiana Shield, Pantepui, carnivorous plants, Uchii River, Gran Sabana. Abstract: An expedition to the territory of Paruima and its vicinities was organized between January 3-12, 2019. The objective was to visit the areas belonging to the Guyanese outreach of the Gran Sabana (Eng. “Great Savanna”) in the vicinity of the Uchii River (aka Utshi River) near the Venezu- elan border and to reach the underexplored summit of the Waukauyengtipu plateau. The aim of the expedition was to make botanical observations with the main focus of reviewing local carnivorous plant species occurrences, as well as to assess the feasibility of the area for carrying out future sci- entific research and implementing small-scale eco-tourism activities in the territories belonging to the Pemón Arekuna community of Paruima. The expedition resulted in making interesting observa- tions regarding the unique flora of the Guiana Highlands found around the areas of the Uchii River uplands in the Gran Sabana and on Waukauyengtipu. Introduction An expedition to the territory of Paruima and its vicinity was organized between January 3-12, 2019.
