Indigenous communities in Guyana's Rupununi Region are strengthening their role in protecting biodiversity, culture, and traditional lands. With support from the Sustainable Wildlife Management (SWM) Programme, ten Amerindian villages have developed Free, Prior and Informed Consent (FPIC) guidelines to shape decisions affecting their future.

The SWM Programme is an international initiative co-funded by the European Union, French Facility for Global Environment, and French Development Agency. It is implemented by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), the French Agricultural Research Centre for International Development (CIRAD), the Centre for International Forestry Research (CIFOR-ICRAF), and the Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS).
