The South Rupununi Conservation Society (SRCS) is imparting traditional knowledge covering indigenous skills, culture and dialects that are fast seeming to fade to 240 youths from eight villages in the South Rupununi and the Central Sub-district.
The SRCS is a small grassroots non-governmental organization which was found in 2002 when the Red Siskin, an endangered bird species, was discovered in the South Rupununi. Since then its members have placed environmental education at the top of their priorities list. They believe that a lot of the destructive habits that occur in the South Rupununi such as overharvesting, pollution, and habitat destruction could be addressed by environmental education.
