Guyana's Urban Wildlife
This mission serves to help to keep track of the wildlife observed around Georgetown. It could be in your backyard, on the way to work or school, at work or school. If you see it and can take a photo - share it!
Those contributing can 'help' or 'get help' in identify the photos of the different wildlife being posted and even learn more about that species.
Wildlife does not refer to animals only - we are happy to appreciate and learn more about the plants/trees in our surroundings also.

(1) Take a decent photo with your camera or smartphone.
(2) Upload it here when you have access to internet/wifi.
(3) Provide the following details if possible:
- date and approximate time you observed/took the photo
- name of the plant or animal in the photo if you know it (local names
also e.g. the Scarlet Ibis is locally known as 'curi curi')
(4) Have fun observing and learn more about the wildlife around you. As
you learn and appreciate the wildlife around you think about human
actions that may negatively affect them and take action to help
protect them.
(5) Submit as often as you can.
Set a goal - 'one photo a week' or 'one photo a month' depending on
your schedule and access to internet.
Restrictions/Cautions
- We do not want to disturb/harm the wildlife we photograph.
Some are more sensitive than others. For example, don't go too
close to a nesting bird or poke a frog or snake with a stick so that it
would come out in the open for take a photo.
- Be careful! Some wildlife can cause us harm. So don't go trying to
pull a snake out of the bushes to take a photo or go too close to it in
an attempt to get a better photo.
