Red Siskin Research and Conservation

Having monitored and gathered data for so long, we are now working with 6 communities to create a huge Community Based Conservation Management zone to provide continued protection for this beautiful bird.

Environmental Education Curriculum

Our dream is that every child in the Rupununi will grow up with a love for nature and a will to protect and care for the world around them.  We have started environmental education classes in 4 schools in 2019, and hope to expand year on year.

Giant Anteater Research and Conservation

This amazing species is on the decline in the South Rupununi.  We want to estimate their population size and understand the threats against them so that we can start community-run conservation of giant anteaters.

Yellow Spotted River Turtle Research and Conservation

This beautiful species of river turtle is threatened with over harvesting for their meat and eggs. We have begun a project to work with communities to provide them with long term protection

Traditional Knowledge Classes

Traditional Knowledge and Skills are at risk of being lost. We are partnering with 16 communities to facilitate their Village Elders passing on their knowledge and skills to the Youth of their Village through a series of weekly classes.

Fire Monitoring and Research

Burning of the Rupununi is a common sight, but not everyone realises the damage that it is doing to local wildlife and ecosystems. We are studying current fire practices to see how they have changed over the years and to understand the damage they can have.

Hoary-throated Spinetail and Rio Branco Antbird Research and Conservation

Our field teams are establishing population estimates of these two endangered species and planning how we can protect them.
