The book looks great. Congratulations. We just heard your presentation last night. It was well done with a good mix of pictures, factual information, humor, and seriousness. You covered both sides of the coin well thereby conveying the beauty and wonders of the Galapagos and the costs. I wish you great success in influencing the big picture as well as the local realities in saving the Amazon.

Nature when preserved has a way of sustaining itself. Human intervention could at times disrupt this self sustaing process. As an overseas Guyanese i have been to Lethem sever times, the scenes are breath-taking. This is not only a heritage to be preserver for us Guyanese people, but for the entire world, and for generations to come. The beauty of nature cannot be replicated, and tells me that there is a master-mind who designed it all. Thanks for the great work you are doing in the Rupununi Dr. Watkins, i will look for your book on Amazon.com. Richard.

Dr Watkins, you must be commended for doing such a fine publication on the eco-tourism potential of my beloved country, Guyana. May each citizen of Guyana purchase a copy of your book, as the most fitting way to reward you for your labour of love.

Thank you for a wonderful overview of this incredibly valuable place.

Graham, finally only yesterday, I had a chance to buy your book... actually not only one... because it is just a beautiful present for every friend who got somehow in touch with Guyana and / or the Rupununi! And I was so proud to carry them - the street along - over to my office! Raquel is probably right... knowing you, means also to know this book is being done with much love for the Rupununi Region!!! Congrats!!!
