Description : The project aimed to support traditional agricultural and agroforestry practices within three Amerindian communities – Terre-Rouge, Mana, and Bellevue. Through concerted efforts, three pilot agroforestry plots were established, showcasing remarkable plant diversity and serving as local inspiration for similar initiatives. Over 100 trees were planted across these plots, which now host an impressive array of 40-60 plant species each. Additionally, successful networking among thirty stakeholders facilitated knowledge exchange, leading to the dissemination of agro-ecological practices and preservation of traditional wisdom. Educational sessions conducted reached 80 young community members, crucial for nurturing awareness about sustainable resource management and biodiversity conservation. These achievements mark significant progress toward revitalising indigenous agricultural traditions and fostering environmental stewardship within the Guyanese communities.
