The forest of Suriname
Suriname is the most forested country in the world. But the forest is under serious threat - the plants and animals that live there, and the people who live there. Indigenous people and Maroons have lived in the forest for centuries and have a unique relationship with nature, where caring for the forest is self-evident: "We care for the forest, and the forest cares for us." Come and discover the story of Suriname's forest from the perspective of all its inhabitants.
