Iwokrama and British Chamber sign biodiversity conservation pact

(Kaieteur News) – The Iwokrama International Centre (IIC) has announced that the British Chamber of Commerce Guyana (BritCham) will provide annual funding over the next three years to support the centre’s work under the Global Biodiversity Alliance (GBA).

This support is on the basis of a cooperation MOU forged between the Centre and BritCham in 2025, Iwokrama said in a release. Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Iwokrama, Dane Gobin, says “the Centre is grateful to BritCham for this support which will help implement the Centre’s activities under President Ali’s GBA initiative – both the Centre and BritCham are members of the GBA. It is heartening to see the membership of BritCham, mainly involved in the oil and gas industry, recognize the importance of Guyana’s green agenda.

The Centre has long standing links with the UK as it is the home of the Commonwealth Secretariat, one of the Centre’s founding partners and the Centre’s patron, King Charles III. The Centre remains grateful for the long-standing support from President Ali and the Government of Guyana”.
