The Sustainable Wildlife Management (SWM) Programme has been extended for an additional three years, following a €25 million investment by the European Union (EU).
This is according to a press release from the local wildlife management project, which said that the main aim of the programme is to ensure a sustainable future for wildlife across the globe; while still supporting indigenous communities to maintain access to food in a safe and secure way.
Among the highlights of the project in Guyana the release said, is the development and implementation of the first inland fisheries co-management plan in 10 North Rupununi communities.
