An expedition to two localities in the Rupununi by World Wildlife Fund and Global Wildlife Conservation during late 2013 from did a comprehensive survey of biodiversity. Their first
report has now been released and consists of 97 pages.
"Preliminary results indicate 241 species of plants, 302 birds, 150 species of fish, 34 reptiles, 25 amphibians, 23 small mammals and over 300 species of insects were encountered during the two week expedition."
Also see this very readable
write-up of this in Caribbean Beat. Plus there is this Guyana Times
report from a local perspective.
