US-based software company, ESRI, regarded as the world leader in GIS (geographic information system) modelling and mapping software and technology, yesterday firmed-up its commitment to Guyana’s Low Carbon Development Strategy by committing to provide the necessary software to this country, as well as the requisite training to Guyanese in the usage of the hi-tech equipment, so that the world can see first hand the imagery of Guyana’s vast tropical rainforest.

ESRI’s President Mr. Jack Dangerman gave this commitment to President Bharrat Jagdeo during a meeting the two had at the Office of Guyana’s Permanent Mission at the UN, in New York.

President Jagdeo and Mr. Dangerman are seen as they were about to wrap up their successful meeting in New York, September 23.
