With 2.5 million square kilometers of largely intact tropical rainforest and savannah, 10-15% of the worlds fresh water reserves and an extremely rich and highly endemic biodiversity, the Guiana Shield ranks among the most important ecological regions in the world. This report highlights the Non-Timber Forest Products (NTFPs) of the Guiana Shield.
This primer was developed to increase the knowledge about biodiversity prospecting and its implications and was conceptualised after repeated requests from groups working in southern Africa on these difficult issues.
