Guyana!!!





The map is a map of Guyana and Guyana’s major cities. I provided a map of Guyana because when you are traveling to a foreign country, you should know where you are and where you are going. The other picture shows a family of monkeys that live in Guyana’s Amazon Rainforest. It appears to be a mother, father and child. The last picture shows a large waterfall surrounded by various plants and wild life.

Here is more information to help you answer the questions.

According to http://rainforests.mongabay.com/20guyana.htm, “Guyana is a small, lightly populated country on the north coast of South America. About three-quarters of Guyana is forested, roughly 60 percent of which is classified as primary forest. Guyana's forests are highly diverse: the country has some 1,263 known species of amphibians, birds, mammals, and reptiles, and 6,409 species of plants. According to an assessment by the ITTO, forests in Guyana can be broken down as follows: rainforest (36 percent), montane forest (35 percent), swamp and marsh (15 percent), dry evergreen (7 percent), seasonal forest (6 percent), and mangrove forest (1 percent).”

“Despite its forest cover, Guyana's ancient soils are highly infertile and most of the country's population of 765,000 is confined to coastal areas. Guyana is one of South America's poorest countries and carries an external debt that is 40 percent of its GDP.”
