The Iwokrama International Centre for Rain Forest Conservation and Development is pleased to announce the continuation of its school outreach programme, which resumed in June 2025. For the first time, Iwokrama is including primary schools, engaging with Grade 5 and 6 students to raise awareness on conservation.
During the month of June, the Centre visited five primary schools, delivering interactive sessions on protected areas, Iwokrama’s work in conservation, and the impacts of littering. Special focus was placed on schools that often have limited access to environmental awareness initiatives.Â
These visits were designed to encourage a deeper understanding of Guyana’s natural resources and promote individual responsibility in protecting the environment.
The schools engaged included:
- St Angela’s Primary
- St. Pius PrimaryÂ
- West Ruimveldt PrimaryÂ
- Paradise PrimaryÂ
- Golden Grove PrimaryÂ
While Iwokrama continues to support youth-led conservation efforts through its Wildlife Clubs in the North Rupununi, this programme extends those efforts to coastal regions, bringing environmental education to more of Guyana’s young minds.
School outreach will continue in November 2025.Â
