King Charles III renews patronage of Iwokrama rainforest centre

Britain’s King Charles III will continue to serve as Patron of the Iwokrama International Centre for Rain Forest Conservation and Development (IIC) for another term in supporting its  work to advance sustainable rainforest management and climate change resilience.

This announcement is part of a series of events to celebrate the first anniversary of the King’s coronation, IIC said in a release yesterday.

As Prince of Wales, the King, first became IIC’s Patron in 2000 after visiting Guyana and the Iwokrama Forest and has been a strong supporter of Iwokrama’s work to develop modern rainforest conservation models and practices, IIC said.
