National Conservation Priority Setting Workshop
In January 2002 a National Conservation Priority Setting
Workshop was
hosted by Conservation International- Suriname. The goal
of this event was
to inventorize the existence of relevant data regarding
conservation of the
country. NARENA provided GIS-technology for the
production of several
thematic maps, on which the participants could draw the
most important
areas, that should be considered as most vulnerable,
threatened, or no
information available. This exercise resulted in a gap-
analysis and a clear vision of what areas should be
taken into account when prioritizing conservation sites.
Guayana Shield Conservation
Priority Setting Workshop
From 5 to 9 April 2002 the Guayana Shield Conservation
Priority Setting
Workshop was held in Paramaribo. The workshop was funded
by Conservation
International (CI), in cooperation with the Netherlands
Committee for
IUCN and the Caribbean Sub-regional Resource Facility of
UNDP. The
Guayana Shield, extending from Venezuela into Guyana,
Suriname, Guyane
Française, Colombia and Brazil, constitutes one of the
largest expanses of
undisturbed tropical rainforest in the world.
In collaboration with CI-Washington, NARENA prepared a
GIS-lab on site,
where the inputs of about 120 experts from 10 countries
were instantly
converted to maps and integrated over and over again in
order to get a good overviewof the biodiversity across
the region, and develop consensus around both the
geographic priorities and conservation needs.
