Our Review

This comprehensive botanical inventory provides an essential baseline for understanding the remarkable plant diversity within one of Guyana's most significant protected areas. Clarke systematically documents the vascular flora of the Iwokrama Forest, presenting detailed species accounts that will serve field researchers and conservation biologists working in the Guiana Shield region. The checklist format offers immediate utility for ecological studies and biodiversity monitoring in this neotropical rainforest ecosystem.

What distinguishes this work is its meticulous attention to botanical accuracy and its role in establishing a permanent scientific record for a globally important wilderness. Conservation practitioners and tropical botanists will find it indispensable for species identification and understanding the floristic composition of this intact Amazonian landscape. The publication stands as a critical reference that supports both academic research and on-the-ground forest management decisions in a region facing increasing environmental pressures.
