Dr. Pierre-Michel Forget (Département Ecologie et gestion de la Biodiversité) and Dr. Odile Poncy (Département Systématique et Evolution), were nominated to prepare a report on the diversity and the conservation of the environment of the Kaw mountain. Dr Forget is current President of the ATBC and Dr Poncy is the focal point of the Flora of the Guianas in France. See Symposium organized by Hammond et al. at ATBC2008. Read Mongabay.com
