There is more than enough Rain forest in Guyana. Timber trading has been going on in Guyana for over 100 years. If the West want Guyana to keep the Rain Forest as it is, THEY MUSY PAY GUYANA TO DO SO. The West cannot keep burning Fossil Fuel like there is no tomorrow and expect Guyana to replenish their Oxygen!!!!!!!

you are short sighted..Gy can generate more money from preserving its rain forest than by cutting it down. Do the math....think outside the box for a moment...I know more about Gy and it's politicians than you will probably ever know...when I go to Gy I love among them, I have to believe they are thieves because there is no way they can build the kind of properties they have and amass the wealth the have by the salary they make and none are big time traders in the financial markets....you would weep if you saw what they are doing to the rain forest. They are killing our land....

By the way I have a house in Pardoville so I know what I speak of...There is so much I can tell you about opposition and government politicians it will blow your mind...you have no idea how crooked these people are...yu ou have great aspirations for Gy I believe and it would make you angry if you know what I know...

And I thought you said you not getting into Politics

I care about the country just like i know you do....you love Gy I can tell

Look, there is no doubt that the Ministers are living large and I do not condone that but THE WEST must change their ways before getting small countries not to use what they have.  There must be a balance and strict control with regards to the forestry Programs.

Nehru...we do not have to rely on the west to generate revenue from saving the rain forest...within 6 years of preserving our rain forest we can generate an extra $2 billion US at the low end to an extra $10 billion US at eh high end in GDP.

I spent most of my life in Guyana. Visited from one end to the other. Had great times and memories, I cant see how I will be able to get that out of my system.

My brother, I will not pretend to know what you are talking about since I have limited knowledge of the business of Rain Forest. But if this is possible, someone and maybe you need to submit a Proposal to the Govt to show how gUYANA CAN BENEFIT by preserving the Rain Forest. I am being very serious here.

fight for your country....at this point I know many in Gy would have still voted for the PPP despite their corruption...but this environment destruction is the last straw..I believe people are willing to take thoer chances with the opposition now....the PPP have put the PNC to shame as far as thieving goes...

every year that I go to Gy I visit the rain forest..and for the one week that I am there I spend over 5k US just imagine how much a foreigner will spend......and multiply that by 200k visitors.....and then at least double it for economy activity generated.(it is usually more) and then imagine the GDP growth...but the current crop of politicians are only interested in thieving and lip service...most in the current government are nothing but crooks...remember I live among them when I am there 

You are wrong. this statement does not justify what is happening to the rainforest in Guyana. Do not take the the forest we have in Guyana for granted, it is not as large as u might think. It is true that logging has been going on in Guyana for a long time, but not at this magnitude.

With this statement, I'm going to step away, laugh as loudly as I can, then come back.

with all due respect I would like to keep this thread civil...and I know you are being kind ...thx.

You have no idea how civil I'm being. But when individuals who have no idea what's happening in the homeland but come here and pretend they do, I find them laughable.

bannas, It is half of the Country.

You need to wake up, half of the country or even a piece of it. In the end the Guyanese people will lose big time. I'm speaking with friends from the hinterland. The situation is not a good one.

What are your friends doing with the Trees??  How is it helping them???  Is it being used as shade from the Sun??/

Nehru..my friend..you know you are just being facetious. Just do the basic math on the numbers and think of what it would take to get to those numbers...it is not that difficult for them to reach 200k eco-tourism visitors in six yrs....yes there will be some exploitation of the natural resources...but not to the vulgar levels with no regard for the ramifications that we are seeing today...

Irrelevant questions. Do yourself a favor. stop supporting this Govt. with their nonsense. I understand you like the PPP, but their actions in this case are truly appalling,  Don't let yourself be fooled. Remember the Pied Piper story? There's a cliff loomimg up ahead. Take heed.

I am trying to understand your concern. What exactly is the problem of the Contract with the Chinese and Indian company?? 

Sheik, Are you an Al Gore kind of Guy who believe we should not cut one Tree??  You see I am trying to find out exactly what seems to be the problem.

the concern is the wanton destruction of the rain forest....never midn who is doing it....it is the fact that it is being done with total disregard...

So you are claiming there is no control and that they are destroying the Rain Forest to  the extent that sooner or later there will be no Rain Forest. If that is true, then I agree something needs to be done.

I'm gonna cut you rass, not a tree. Running over by davo now, might give u a holler.

Hay dummy, posting the same video across every thread will not make it any more honest.

of course the ppp had to use a house slave 

Perhaps you should remind yourself and your colleagues about this item.

Bynoe's expose' is obviously bothering them. They cannot counter any of what the man has said with facts so of course their resort is to personal attacks. Isn't this what they accuse the PPP of?

Our videos have the backing of the world. I can bring you videos of dozens of activists from across the world, from environmental groups, from even Redd monitor and they all say the same thing. We are being plundered.

the house slave is in the ppp chains

The company’s concessions are illustrated in one of the slides in Chu Wenze’s presentation:

According to the website Global Timber, these concessions were taken over from other concession holders, a process known as “landlording” which is illegal in Guyana (unless officially authorised by the President). Under Guyanese law, forest concessions cannot be traded, but must be re-advertised by the Forestry Commission in an open auction.

Last week, Bai Shan Lin ignored a cease order issued by the Guyana Geology and Mines Commission at a sand excavation pit in Moblissa. The company has received no permission for excavation work in the area and this is the third time that the Guyana Geology and Mines Commission has issued a cease order. Bai Shan Lin has also started construction of a road, without any permission.

Despite the company’s record, among its supporters is Guyana’s ex-President Bharrat Jagdeo.

 Mr Poli give PPP a little mild tiny soft lash. He save he best for opposition. 

why this man was not charged for treason?

House slave???

Remember Mr Bynoe burn down that building with Mr Poole? 

He is an ignar and a PPP house boy.

Expose? the only Expose Bynoe can tell us is weh de flag deh that he was draping coffin with.

When he done deh he has to tell us how come he get that man kill in office of the president. Like all yuh forget that already.

It is clear the PPP is embracing criminals. Bynoe has blood on his hands.
