Re-design of the website of the Guyana Forestry Commission

Sep 18, 2015 Letters

Dear Editor,
The previously chaotically disorganised and incomplete website of the Guyana Forestry Commission appears to have been re-launched without testing.  Most of the website currently consists of headings with no contents under them.
The website designer or manager does not seem to know the difference between the Forests Act 2009 as the primary forests legislation and the Guyana Forestry Commission Act 2007 as the mandate for the operation of the GFC.  The subsidiary Forest Regulations are not mentioned.  The National Forest Plan 2001/2011 has become the Notional Forest Plan – probably not intended as an ironic commentary on the failure to implement either version of the Plan.  The e-mail contact for the GFC is given as [email protected], which not surprisingly is a non-address.
According to the World Bank-coordinated Forest Carbon Partnership Facility, there is an expectation that Guyana will submit an Emission Reduction Project Idea Note (ER-PIN) at the next FCPF Carbon Fund meeting in mid-October.  There is no mention of an ER-PIN on the GFC website.
Certainly it would be good to see a properly modernised, helpful and authentic website for the GFC.  But please could the GFC test any new website before making inaccessible all the key documents from the old website.
