Field Trip to Guyana

March 24 - April 3, 2002

Continuing its programme of visits to other territories in the region, the Trinidad and Tobago Field Naturalists' Club organized an 11-day trip to Guyana in March and April 2002. The main objective of the trip was to visit the Rupununi Savannah and the Iwokrama International Centre for Rain Forest Conservation and Development. The itinerary included visits to the Amerindian communities of Surama, Annai and Fairview and to the Karanambu Ranch. The group also overnighted at the Emerald Tower eco-resort near Timehri Airport before setting out for the interior. The final day was spent in Georgetown.

Eighteen members took part in this trip. Owing to limited facilities at some of the locations to be visited, members were divided into two groups. Group "A" went by road to Iwokrama, then to Surama and on to the Karanambu Ranch in the Rupununi before flying back to Timehri. Group "B" travelled to Annai by air with a 2-hour stopover at Kaieteur Falls, and then continued by road to Surama and Iwokrama.

The images that follow are a compilation of photographs taken by members of both groups.
