The Mashabo Primary Environmental Club hosted an exciting session on reducing waste.

Club members participated in discussions and practical activities focused on reducing waste. They learned ways to minimize the use of disposable items, conserve resources, and adopt environmentally friendly habits at school and home.

These activities form a part of EMC Foundation’s E-STEM Program, supported by the ExxonMobil Foundation.

The Annandale Secondary Environmental Club recently learned about Animal Identification.

Club members participated in discussions and brainstorming sessions on the differences between vertebrates and invertebrates. They also watched educational videos to learn how to identify animal species commonly found in their communities. Taking their learning outdoors, students collected insects from both indoor and outdoor environments, preserved and mounted their specimens, and then worked together to classify the insects they had collected.

These activities form part of the EMC Foundation’s E-STEM Program, supported by the ExxonMobil Foundation.

The Lake Mainstay Primary Environmental Club explored water quality monitoring.

The club members took part in several activities to aid in understanding water pollution and how it can be controlled. The main activities included a class discussion on water pollution, a field trip to Mainstay Lake and a question-and-answer session.

These activities form a part of EMC Foundation’s E-STEM Program, supported by the ExxonMobil Foundation.

Ollie’s Otter Facts 🦦

Across the world and even here in Guyana, the giant river otter is known by many different names.

In Guyana, people often call them water dogs because of their playful nature and dog-like behaviours. In parts of South America, they are known as river wolves or water wolves, reflecting their strength and teamwork as skilled hunters.

What do you call them?

The Environmental Protection Agency invites the public and stakeholders to participate in the survey as part of Guyana’s ongoing process to update its National Biodiversity Strategy and Action Plan (NBSAP) and prepare its 7th National Report to the Convention on Biological Diversity.

The Fisher Primary Environmental Club started their club activities with a session on Ecosystems and their types.

The club members grouped animals and placed them in the correct ecosystem in Guyana, giving them an engaging way to interact with the topic.
