Guyana one of the most beautiful countries in the world like any other country will be troubled by the effects of climate change. The fact that most of the inhabitants of this South American paradise have built their homes on the coastal belt, which is under sea level, is one that necessitate, that at some time in the near future consideration for a mass movement of the people to higher ground must be put in focus or beautiful Guyana can become a next Atlantis.
With a population of under a million people, there is enough land in this country for all Guyanese and others from her sister Caricom states. However with the adoption of a new green Guyana policy which has secure international funding for protection of the rain forests, it has become necessary to stop deforestation to save our world.
In consideration of the aforementioned, I wish to appeal to the Minister responsible for mining, and the mining community, to please let us have those working in the industry to refill and replant mining areas across Guyana. The bad habit handed down to us of extracting minerals from our land and writing them off thereafter as useless must stop. Some of our mining areas are fertile grounds.
I am of the opinion that these lands can become locations of inner cities and farms that will play major roles in Guyana’s future. Let us not forget that this too was a part of the vision of our founding leaders. The wisdom of moving our people to higher grounds in the face of the treats of climate change cannot be ignored.
I may not have the qualifications of those involved in country planning/ infrastructure but I have eyes to see, and I am wise enough not to say all that I see . Nevertheless, I pray that our planers will be humble enough to consider my suggestion, and Guyana becomes better for us and those coming after.
