The Guiana Shield countries and development partners have developed an action plan to enable biological corridors and transboundary conservation within the Guiana Shield eco-region to avoid landscape fragmentation and the loss of habitats for biodiversity.

The Guiana Shield, one of the most intact ecosystems in the world, is increasingly under pressure from development and extractive industries.
