Action Cock-of-the-rock: the formation of a committee for observation and action in the field

The setting up of a joint action plan for the Guianan Cock-of-the-rock began with bilateral meetings with the Company of Guides, the ONF and mineral companies in the course of which the association introduced the programme Life+ Cap DOM and more precisely its action plan to help the Guianan Cock-of-the-rock. The association will next meet FEDOMG (the Federation of Mineral Operators of French Guiana) and INTERPROBOIS (the Interprofessional Association for Forests & Wood) to prepare the organisation of a first plenary meeting of a committee for observation and action in the field.
