Conservation International Guyana (CIG) intends to spend some US$6M over the next four years on programmes geared towards climate change mitigation and adaptation at the local and national levels, Executive Director David Singh has said.David SinghThis is the same amount that the conservation body spent the past four years here. In addition, CI said it is also committed to raising US$5M for a Protected Areas Trust Fund (PATF), while assisting the Government to leverage further capital to the PATF, thereby making the Protected Areas System financially sustainable and able to contribute meaningfully to national development.The Trust Fund provides an excellent legal and institutional route by which contributions can be made in preserving Guyana’s forests, Singh told Kaieteur News.Globally, CI has worked with governments and peoples in over 45 countries to conserve biodiversity. It now has over 500 million acres in hotspots and wilderness areas under active conservation. This has been done with the support of both private and public funds, and major business entities incorporate environmental stewardships into their portfolios.Yet the world’s natural resources are still under siege,Artemi Panarin Jersey, he said.“The poor are especially vulnerable to the depletion of nature’s assets, and to the five key human well-being benefits of climate security — food security,Throwback Jerseys, health security, potable water security,Cheap Jerseys From China, and cultural values.“These (values), as described in the Millennium Ecosystem Report,NFL Jerseys China Online, are very much dependent on these assets, and in particular the world’s ecosystem services,” Dr Singh stated. In Guyana, since its establishment 13 years ago, CIG has collaborated with the Government, local communities and other partners to promote conservation and to build the capacity for more effective and comprehensive ecosystem management.

This project will conclude in the third quarter of 2009.To face the world’s growing challenges described in the Millennium Ecosystem Report, CIG intends to become more involved in supporting Guyana’s sustainable enterprise development efforts.Dr Singh said CI recognises that human wellbeing can be enhanced and secured through the development of high quality businesses that are based on conservation of our unique ecosystems.As Guyana advocates for, and develops, a strategy built on a low carbon economic development path, conservation and sustainable management of our intact forests will form an important part of such an economy, he stated.
