The United States Embassy hosted a celebration to observe World Wildlife Day, bringing together the World Wildlife Fund Guianas and the Guyana Wildlife Division along with faculty and students from the University of Guyana.
In a release, the Embassy said that World Wildlife Day celebrated annually [from this year] in March throughout the world raises awareness of issues relating to the protection of plants and animals. Chargé d’Affaires Bryan Hunt welcomed the group and led a discussion on the issue of wildlife trafficking, which “threatens our security, the environment, human health, and sustainable economic development.”
