Description: The project aimed to conserve local biodiversity in Guyana through various actions focusing on raising awareness about nearby species among the public. The project achieved three main results: adapting and providing tools for garden management, mobilising and promoting the benefits of local biodiversity, and fostering a community supportive of nearby biodiversity. These efforts involved developing educational materials, forging partnerships with associations and local authorities, and engaging individuals and organisations in urban biodiversity conservation. Stakeholders engaged included local and national partners, schools, community associations, and governmental bodies. Lessons learned highlighted the value of gardens as educational and awareness-raising platforms, reinforced through collaborations with environmental and social actors. For instance, GRAINE Guyane chose to organize regional environmental education meetings around garden themes, showcasing the growing interest and potential of such initiatives.
