The Tourism and Hospitality Association of Guyana (THAG) and the Guyana Tourism Authority (GTA) have received funding from the Latin American Trade Association (LATA) Foundation to create a Counter Wildlife Trafficking Communications Toolkit.
This communications project will be completed in one year’s time and aims at strengthening the knowledge of legal wildlife trade so locals and travellers in Guyana can better identify the signs of wild life trafficking and the process on how to report it to the relevant authority.
According to a joint statement, THAG and the GTA will be collaborating with the Guyana Wildlife Conservation and Management Commission (GWCMC) to develop the toolkit which will help protect the “amazing” wildlife which is notably a vital part of our country and tourism product.
