Four indigenous girls from the Barima-Mora Passage Area (BMPA) have been trained to operate aerial drones to ensure that mangrove ecosystem and wildlife biodiversity throughout Region One is monitored and protected, as part of an ongoing project.
The Barima-Mora Drone Unit is part of a four-year project, titled: ‘Securing the Future of the The Barima-Mora Passage Mangrove Ecosystem and its People’ and is managed by the Guyana Marine Conservation Society (GMCS).
