Current Projects

Having monitored and gathered data for so long, we are now working with 5 communities to monitor a Community Based Conservation Management zone to provide continued protection for this beautiful bird.
Developer
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 created an environmental education curriculum which has so far been taught to over 1500 students in 17 communities
Developer
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 improve community-run conservation of giant anteaters.
Developer
This beautiful species of river turtle is threatened with over harvesting for their meat and eggs as well as flooding. We have begun a project to work with communities to provide them with long term protection
Developer
Traditional Knowledge and Skills are at risk of being lost. We are partnering with communities to facilitate their Village Elders passing on their knowledge and skills to the Youth of their Village through a series of weekly classes.
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.

Guyana has only 3 species of Critically Endangered wildlife, two of which are these endemic species of bird found on the border of Guyana and Brazil. The SRCS are working to use research results to advocate for the protection of their habitat

Residents of the communities of Shea, Maruranau and Awarewaunau have been concerned that the local Giant Armadillo population is declining. In partnership with these communities, the SRCS has started a research project to learn more about their populzation size, range and behaviour.
Developer
For decades, the residents of Karaudarnau Village have known about a population of rabbits on their land however it is currently unknown whether they are a feral species, existing species, subspecies or a completely new species - the SRCS and their partners aim to find out.
Developer
Climate Change will have monumental impacts on future generations across the world. The SRCS is working with the Youth of the Rupununi to raise awareness of climate change and to build their resilience to its effects
