Action next.
Motivating action through greater environmental awareness and education in Guyana. Scroll down and let Ollie and Arya take you from the mangroves to the canopy.

Act
Open doors for young people to get out into Guyana's natural environment and act.
Travel Guyana with Ollie and Arya
Chapter 1
Start at the shoreline
Mangroves hold Guyana's coast together. Ollie starts every field trip here, notebook out, counting the roots that keep the sea at bay.
Did you know? Mangrove forests shield the coastline where most Guyanese live and work.
Chapter 2
Paddle up the river
Arya glides upstream past lily pads and quiet creeks, showing students how one river carries a whole watershed's story.
Did you know? Guyana means 'land of many waters' — rivers are the country's highways.
Chapter 3
Climb into the canopy
Under giant kapok trees, clubs record birds, plant seedlings and turn curiosity into a habit of caring.
Did you know? Around 85% of Guyana is still covered in forest.
