The Sustainable Wildlife Management (SWM) Programme's focus on empowering women is resulting in improved livelihoods and better protected environments. Discover the inspiring story of three women, Susan George, Flora Gomez and Kim Spencer, who are contributing daily to the SWM Programme in Guyana success.

The SWM Programme has developed a series of innovative social safeguards to encourage women and men’s active participation in community decisions. In our projects, such as in Guyana, we aim to improve women’s access to resources and services. This will reduce the gender gap between women and men, where necessary, and improve wildlife management and food security for all.
