Guyana National Land Use Plan Guyana National Land Use Plan Government of Guyana Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment Guyana Lands and Surveys Commission August 2013 National Land Use Plan Oi PREFACE A National Land Use Policy and Plan for Guyana have been long overdue. Although several baselines and regional and municipal plans have been prepared, there still remained a national overarching policy and plan that can serve to guide land use decisions. This National Land Use Policy and Plan comprises both the process by which it was developed, and the policy and plan itself, including full explanations of the plan content It is accompanied by a separate map folder, which contains larger format maps, where the larger format helps in viewing and use. A separate Summary document is also available. This National Land Use Plan was developed by the Guyana Lands and Surveys Commission (GL&SC) with support from the Development of Land Use Planning Project (DLUPP). As described in this document, the Plan, as presented, is not a prescriptive document. Rather, it is intended to provide the overarching policy framework for land use decision-making co- ordination for the other land-based sector agencies such as the Forestry Commission, the Geology and Mines Commission and the Central Housing and Planning Authority. GLSC wishes to acknowledge the EU-Guyana 10th EDF Technical Assistance for the support it provided for the initial drafting of the Plan, and HTSPE Limited, in association with SRKN’gineering and InfoTerra for technical consultancy services.

  • Eradicating Poverty and Unifying Guyana
    NATIONAL DEVELOPMENT STRATEGY Eradicating Poverty and Unifying Guyana A Civil Society Document - AN OVERVIEW - I GUYANA - BASIC INFORMATION • Guyana, with an area of 83,000 square miles or 215,000 square kilometres, is located on the northern coast of South America, and is the only English-speaking country on that continent. It is bounded on the north by the Atlantic Ocean, on the east by Surinam, on the south and south-west by Brazil, and on the west and north-west by Venezuela. • Guyana is physically divided into four types of landforms: (i) a flat coastal, clayey belt which is about 4.5 feet below sea level, and in which most of its agricultural activity occurs; (ii) a sand belt, to the south of the coastal belt, which includes the Intermediate Savannas; (iii) an undulating, central peneplain which comprises more than half of the country’s area, and in which are located lush, almost pristine, tropical forests, and extensive mineral deposits. This landform stretches from the sand belt to the country’s southern boundary and encompasses, also, the Rupununi Savannas which border Brazil; and (iv) the highlands which are to be found in the midwestern area. This portion of the Guiana Highlands includes the Pakaraima mountain range. • Guyana has a plentitude of natural resources: fertile agricultural lands on the coastal plain and in the riverain areas; vast areas of tropical hardwood forests of various ecosystems and with a multitude of plant and animal species; abundant fish and shrimping grounds, both in its numerous rivers and in the Atlantic Ocean to its north; and a wide variety of minerals, including gold, diamonds, a range of semi-precious stones, bauxite and manganese.

  • Plant Diversity in Guyana
    Foreword FOREWORD This book is based on the efforts of very many people. Its purpose is to support the efforts of the Government of Guyana to develop a National Protected Areas System in the country. Much of the information presented in the book is technical and scientific in nature, while some chapters synthesise what little is known on a particular subject. For those interested in the main objectives and results of the book reading Chapters 1 and 12 may suffice. Some basic information on Guyana’s plant diversity is presented in Chapter 2. The other Chapters deal with certain aspects of plant diversity or typical regions in Guyana. In the first place I would like to thank all the persons who contributed in raw data and words to this book. Their names can be found on top of the chapters and in the list of contributors below. Without their help this book would never have been written. On their and my behalf I would like to thank all those who have contributed otherwise to the successful completion of this book. Thanks to the Guyana Natural Resources Agency, the Office of the President, the National Agricultural Research Institute, the University of Guyana, the Guyana Forestry Commission for their continuing support to the Tropenbos-Guyana Programme. Thanks to the Environmental Protection Agency, the Guyana Forestry Commission and the Iwokrama International Centre for the Rainforest Conservation and Development for their support and co-operation through the several workshops we had in Guyana. Thanks also to the Tropenbos-Guyana Programme, notably George Walcott and Roderick Zagt, the Tropenbos Foundation and the Utrecht University, notably Thijs Pons and Wim Dijkman, for the support in Guyana and the Netherlands.
