The Guiana Shield

Size: 2.7 million km2

Low population – 8 million: rich

cultural diversity

Largest complex of uninterrupted,

intact primary tropical forests

One of the richest tropical

wilderness areas on Earth

Great variety of ecosystems, some

are not found anywhere else

High biodiversity values

Key watershed region for the

Amazon and Orinoco basins

10-15% of world’s freshwater

Significant carbon sequestration ~500 million t/year

Wise words

H.E. Braulio Dias, Executive Secretary of the Convention on Biological Diversity, 2013

“….the Guiana Shield Ecoregion, the area that concentrates the largest amount of tropical forest under protected areas in the world, but one that is increasingly facing the challenges of promotion of economic development while ensuring the conservation of its natural capital and increasing the benefits for its people from its rich biodiversity.”

Operating Premise of the GSF

Provision of incentives for

the preservation and

conservation of the

ecological and social values

of the Guiana Shield

ecoregion towards ensuring

the long-term delivery of its

globally important

ecosystem services will

contribute to poverty

reduction and sustainable

human development,

especially for forest

dependent communities

Theory of change

The GSF creates

and sustains an

eco-regional

platform to

support national

priorities,

address common

threats to

ecosystems and

the services they

provide, build

partnerships to

promote

advocacy,

knowledge

building and

transboundary

collaboration.
