Local pressure exists to develop this area for its economic and demographic potential. The ravaging beauty of La Llovizna and Cachamay waterfalls draws about a million visitors a year. Due to the urbanization and major change in the lifestyle environment of local communities, the people have become unaware of surrounding nature and its importance to human welfare. This CD-ROM is intended mainly for outsiders and national visitors as a means to draw the parks to the attention of the local politicians. Over 450 botanical species and a number of local wildlife are shown on CD-ROM containing over 1,000 pictures, more than 20 videos, information, quizzes and trivia.
Emphasis is put on the blossoming season for each botanical species.
Language is meant for the general public. The purpose of this product is to present economical and cultural meaning to possible tourists. This electronic book shall also have a great educational importance in schools, libraries, and universities in Venezuela. We hope this important project will influence executives and politicians to take efficient provisions to defend nature in Guayana and to stimulate related projects in the future.
