Holland (2009) A Biodiversity Assessment of the Rewa Head, Guyana. ZSL Conservation Report No. 10. The Zoological Society of London, London. Key Words: Guyana, Rewa, biodiversity, threatened species, conservation, giant otter, logging, mining, ecosystem services Front cover: Jaguar photographed in the Rewa Head © Gordon Duncan 2004 Page layout: candice@chitolie.com The Zoological Society of London (ZSL), founded in 1826, is a world-renowned centre of excellence for conservation science and applied conservation (registered charity in England and Wales number 2087282). Our mission is to promote and achieve the worldwide conservation of animals and their habitats. This is realised by carrying out field conservation and research in over 80 countries across the globe and through education and awareness at our two zoos, ZSL London Zoo and ZSL Whipsnade Zoo, inspiring people to take conservation action. The aim of this Conservation Report series is to inform people of the work that ZSL and its partners do in field conservation. Results of work carried out in field projects are often only reported in unpublished technical reports. This series seeks to bring this grey literature into a more accessible form to help guide conservation management and inform policy. The main intention is to report on particular achievements, especially where lessons learnt form the field can benefit other conservation professionals. The results of field surveys will also be disseminated through this series. The primary audience for these reports is ZSL’s conservation partners. These include government departments, private sector actors and conservation organisations. In some cases this type of report will also be useful for local communities. This series will be published in English and other languages as appropriate. Because only a limited number of hard copies will be produced, electronic versions of all these reports will be available through the ZSL library. (https://library.zsl.org)
