The Guiana Shield Facility
Tagline:
Promoting
conservation
Supporting
sustainable
development
The Guiana Shield
Size: 2.7 million km2
Low population – 8 million: rich
cultural diversity
Largest complex of uninterrupted,
intact primary tropical forests
One of the richest tropical
wilderness areas on Earth
Great variety of ecosystems, some
are not found anywhere else
High biodiversity values
Key watershed region for the
Amazon and Orinoco basins
10-15% of world’s freshwater
Significant carbon sequestration ~500 million t/year
Wise words
H.E. Braulio Dias, Executive Secretary of the Convention on Biological Diversity, 2013
“….the Guiana Shield Ecoregion, the area that concentrates the largest amount of tropical forest under protected areas in the world, but one that is increasingly facing the challenges of promotion of economic development while ensuring the conservation of its natural capital and increasing the benefits for its people from its rich biodiversity.”
Programming for conservation &
sustainable development

Ecoregional Objectives Programmatic Implementation
Operating Premise of the GSF
Provision of incentives for
the preservation and
conservation of the
ecological and social values
of the Guiana Shield
ecoregion towards ensuring
the long-term delivery of its
globally important
ecosystem services will
contribute to poverty
reduction and sustainable
human development,
especially for forest
dependent communities

Theory of change
The GSF creates
and sustains an
eco-regional
platform to
support national
priorities,
address common
threats to
ecosystems and
the services they
provide, build
partnerships to
promote
advocacy,
knowledge
building and
transboundary
collaboration.
Through implementation of valuation
methodologies, payment for ecosystem services
and adoption of new technologies
Ecosystems protected
