GEORGETOWN (Reuters) - Guyana's indigenous people are accusing the government of snatching their traditional land through poor demarcation as the authorities try to benefit from a U.N. program to preserve the country's rainforests.
The World Bank has given Guyana $3.6 million to help prepare a plan for the U.N program to slow deforestation. But Amerindian leaders insist the government's proposals do not address its international obligations to indigenous groups.
