Forestry Training Centre Incorporated yesterday signed an agreement with the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) to enhance compliance with forest laws among small loggers’ associations which will be funded by the European Union (EU) to the tune of US$122,000.
The project, ‘Develop a pilot timber harvesting and forest monitoring model for small logger associations to improve compliance with the forest laws and agreed forest management prescriptions in Guyana,’ will benefit six small loggers’ associations. They will be able to better manage their concessions, establish monitoring protocols and harness information transfer between them and the Guyana Forestry Commission.
