The Guyana Forestry Commission (GFC) has launched the first ever magazine that focusses on the sector.
According to a release on Saturday, the GFC on Friday, launched its Canopy magazine at the 2023 International Building Expo at the National Stadium, Providence, East Bank Demerara.
The release informed that Canopy is being produced by Energy Magazine with the support of Sagacity Inc, and showcases the achievements, challenges, and opportunities of the forestry sector along with the GFC’s promotion of best practices, innovation and sustainability. It features articles on sector-related topics such as forest governance, certification, products, product development, value-added projects, carbon credits, conservation, sustainability and more. The magazine is available in both print and digital formats.
Minister of Natural Resources, Vickram Bharrat, who was present at the event remarked, “The publication of Canopy magazine will help to keep the nation in tune with the rapid gains we are achieving in the forestry sector, which sometimes fly under the media’s radar. I see this magazine will be a valuable asset for sharing vital information about the massive progress of forestry and its value-added and spin-off sectors in Guyana.”
Copies of the first issue of the Canopy magazine were widely distributed at the International Building Expo, the release added.
