Guyana, Fragile Frontier: loggers, miners and forest peoples. 
by Marcus Colchester
Latin America Bureau and World Rainforest Movement, 1997.

Guyana’s environment is now in danger of wholesale destruction. In the name of structural adjustment, this poor and indebted country is promoting a dramatic escalation of logging, mining and other forms of extraction. At the centre of Guyana’s ecological crisis stand the country’s indigenous peoples, long marginalised and threatened by violent conflict with loggers, miners and ranchers.
