Guyana is one of four countries to benefit from a 2.7M Euro ($720M) European program to help determine the country’s forest carbon stocks.Guyana will benefit from a $720M regional fund to help protect its forests.Under the Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation (REDD+) project,

Some 90% are covered with intact rainforest and it plays a critical role in mitigating climate change and in water regulation of Amazon and Orinoco basins.REDD+ is a global initiative designed to pay groups or countries for protecting their forests and reducing emissions of greenhouse gas pollutants, especially CO? . It aims to reduce net emissions on a global scale. If it succeeds,
