On 10 May 2006 Stabroek News reported: Villagers in the South Rupununi region of Guyana have come up with their own plan to protect the environment. Global Good News service views this news as a sign of rising positivity in the field of education, documenting the growth of life-supporting, evolutionary trends.

At a community-based biodiversity threats management workshop, villagers formulated plans to combat various environmental hazards, including savannah and forest fires, poisoning of creeks and ponds, over-harvesting, and inappropriate methods of harvesting of natural resources, logging, wildlife trade, and water pollution.

Educating the younger generations was seen as one of the best, if not immediate, solutions. Children would be taught, for instance, that felling trees and burning the savannah to root out animals is destructive to their world.

Encouraging emerging eco-tourism for economic support, over destructive trades such as bird-trapping and logging, was another potential solution. It was noted that currently the region attracts visitors from neighbouring Brazil, the USA, Europe, and other parts of the world through local and overseas-based tour operators. Tourists are offered attractions such as the Nappi and Jordan Falls and can walk nature trails and view the endangered harpy eagle—the world's largest—in its natural habitat.

The meeting also disclosed that a sufficient amount of environmental protection legislature is in existence; therefore, attention will be given to enforcement of the existing rules.

Other topics of discussion included projects involving education and awareness, enforcement, formation of relevant committees to oversee implementation, governance, and data collection

Regarding education, the villagers decided to produce and distribute awareness tools, such as pamphlets, flyers, videos; host lectures to inform communities; implement school-based awareness programmes; host village meetings to inform the public; and disseminate information on wildlife regulations.

Every day Global Good News documents the rise of a better quality of life dawning in the world and highlights the need for introducing Natural Law based—Total Knowledge based—programmes to bring the support of Nature to every individual, raise the quality of life of every society, and create a lasting state of world peace.
