-HPS
HEAD of the Presidential Secretariat (HPS) and Cabinet Secretary, Dr. Roger
Luncheon yesterday announced that progress has been made with the
Administration's undertaking to establish a Protected Area System in Guyana
and to this end, a trust fund will be established in support of the system.
"Subsequent to the recently concluded final round of public consultations
with the communities in the identified areas, reports have been prepared,
submitted to the authorities, and examined," Luncheon told reporters at a
news conference.
"Influenced by those consultations, reports and relevant government
policies, the most preliminary outline of the intended legislation has been
submitted for government's attention," Dr. Luncheon said.
He noted that parallel with the examination of the outline on creating a
protected area system in Guyana, is the focus on the creation and management
of a trust fund to finance the operation.
Dr. Luncheon also contended that Guyana's commitment to establishing the
Protected Area System is supported by domestic and international
stakeholders who have remained focused on one of the main objectives of the
System -- to protect bio-diversity in Guyana.
