Guyana Culture, Geography and History
Geography and Environment of Guyana
Bordered by Brazil, Suriname and Venezuela, Guyana also has a long stretch of coastline along the North Atlantic Ocean. Dense tropical rainforest occupies more than 80% of Guyana's environment, with most inhabitants choosing to live near the coast, where arable land is available for farming and coastal breezes provide more temperate weather. Home to some of the world's most spectacular waterfalls, Guyana's vast landscapes and mighty rivers are largely untouched, leaving sizeable natural environments for hundreds of species of mammals, birds, butterflies, insects and marine life.
