Description: The project aimed to sustain the biodiversity of the Amazon forest and the ecosystem services it provides through multiple initiatives. These included the discovery and valorisation of the Guyanese forest, as well as the creation of a sustainable educational garden showcasing local species and agroforestry techniques. Other goals involved promoting the value of forest species and local plants and developing forest discovery activities. The project also emphasised scientific outreach related to research on Amazonian forest biodiversity. Additionally, it fostered regional and cross-border collaborations and contributed to local training programmes. Efforts facilitated public engagement and preservation of a 3-hectare natural Amazon forest site, with ongoing initiatives focusing on expanding species inventories and promoting traditional uses. Partnerships with the Tropical Wetlands Relay Pole and the Martinique Water Office were initiated to promote mangrove conservation. Various stakeholders, including Koté Forêt, GRAINE Guyane, local schools, CEDEFOG, and scientific and educational partners, contributed to the project’s success.
