	Iwokrama Forest \| Regional Rain Forests
		The Guiana Shield is that portion of South American tropical forest that covers much of Guyana, Surinam and French Guiana, as well as eastern and southern Venezuela, and northeast Brazil.
		These features mean that Guiana Shield frontier forest ecosystems represent one of the highest per capita forested areas in the world and one of the largest well preserved landscapes.
		The challenge for Guiana Shield countries is to develop management approaches, within human and financial resource constraints, that can capture the full range of forest values and consequently reduce the threats to these values.

	Forestry Issues in the Guiana Shield Region: A perspective on Guyana and Suriname
		This paper was prepared for an informal donor co-ordination meeting held in November 1998 which aimed to review current conservation and management strategies in the Guiana shield region and considered prospects for future donor action.

		Its preservation so far has been the result of low-potential rainforest soils, limiting both population pressure and (until recently) interest from logging companies in forest where most trees are of small stature and diameter, where the few valuable species are found at low densities and where extraction costs are high.
