Biodiversity centre gets wetlands guidebooks

The British High Commission recently donated 600 guidebooks on wetland education to the Centre for the Study of Biological Diversity at the University of Guyana to aid teachers in planning lessons on wetland education.

According to a press release the books will help teachers to engage students in identifying links between human activities taking place in the wetlands such as burning and waste disposal and natural wetland processes such as water cycle and food chains. The lessons have been developed along four key themes: wetlands, pollution, fire and biodiversity loss and extinction.
