Case Details

Forest management plan guidelines

The Forest Management Planning requirements of the Guyana Forestry Commission (GFC) are designed not only to help the concessionaire address all the factors involved in timber production, and to accomplish objectives; but also to demonstrate to the GFC (and to commercial banks), that he/she is aware of all the variables and is prepared to make the necessary resource inputs to make the timber production process sustainable. This will be achieved through a set of planned actions, which will ensure that the health of the forest ecosystem and its productive capacity are maintained.
