Guyana has one of the last virtually untouched rain forests in South America. The Government of Guyana has donated 2 per cent of its rain forest for research purposes. The Makuxi Indians are building a camp to accommodate the scientists who will be conducting research projects. This project is receiving funding from the United Nations Development Programme to find sustainable uses for the forest's natural resources.
