This congress enabled the various players interested in the Guinean plateau (French Guiana, Suriname, Guyana, Venezuela, Columbia and Brazil) to meet – to maintain the regional momentum in biodiversity conservation at a trans-national level, and to emphasise a social approach that takes into account the various cultural groups involved. A large number of translators was present to make these exchanges possible, in seven languages over four days.
