CHAPTER 3Non-Extractive Value of Forestsof the Guayana RegionVenezuela’s forests are valued for a range of ecosystem goods and services, including wildlife, nontimberforest products, and the potential for hydropower and ecotourism, to name a few. In the followingsection, we assess the importance of some biological resources in the forests of the Guayanaregion, based on existing information for two components: wildlife and non-timber forest products.Although Venezuela’s forests have many values (e.g., carbon storage, vegetation, and nutrientcycling), we chose to focus on a few representative indicators due to limits in data availability andresources. Thus, although we include general data on biodiversity, the bulk of our analysis focuseson wildlife (restricted in this report to vertebrate groups, for which there is more information). Inaddition, we have not assigned economic values to these indicators because of the lack of data.Rather, the indicators represent values and services provided by the forests of the Guayana region,which can be contrasted with the potential costs of future economic development in the region (seeChapter 4).The data were drawn from published and unpublished studies. To the degree that particular regionsor taxonomic groups have not been adequately researched, our data do not represent a completeinventory of biological resources. As such, any conclusions are limited by gaps in information, andfurther research is needed to fully determine the nature and importance of the Guayana region’swildlife and indigenous use of non-timber forest products.The results of our analysis show that:• Forests of the Guayana region harbor an array of plant and animal species that are importantfor maintaining the overall health of forest ecosystems, as well as for sustaining livelihoodsof traditional forest peoples.• Half of all wildlife species in the region are forest dependent. Some species are found inareas threatened by development activities. Thus maintaining forest cover is critical tothese species’ survival.• A significant proportion of species used for non-timber forest products by indigenous andlocal communities is at risk of local extinction. This indicates that resources critical to sustainingtraditional livelihoods could disappear, greatly impoverishing the lives of indigenouspeoples throughout the Guayana region.25
