The Iwokrama International Rain Forest Programme, the world's largest adventure in sustainable management of pristine tropical rain forest in the Amazon, is a unique programme with powerful message for many developing nations endowed with forest wealth. The programme covering 3,60,000 hectares of prime rain forests in Guyana, pledged by the small Commonwealth Country in South America for the global experiment to demonstrate that the tropical forests could provide economic benefits without destroying its biological diversity, is based on the premise that sustainable development can improve the quality of human life while operating within the carrying capacity of supporting ecosystem.
