International Environmental Advisor, Erik Solheim, has congratulated Guyana on its efforts to maintain its pristine forest coverage, as well as advancing global climate adaptation and mitigation efforts, a Department of Public Information (DPI) release said on Wednesday.
The advisor on Monday visited several Amerindian communities and was moved to commend the country’s vast forested landscape and socioeconomic systems.
“No nation in the entire world has protected its rainforest as fantastic as Guyana. This greatness does not come by itself, it comes by hard work by the Government of Guyana and all the leaders here, most of them from indigenous groups,” he stated.
