This low population density and early adoption of Dutch conservation values, coupled with a highly literate population has made Suriname a country of great interest for conservation organizations. Explore some of Suriname's unique natural areas, including the coastal beaches which support the worlds second largest leatherback sea turtle nesting area, and the Central Suriname Reserve, one of the ten largest tropical forest reserves in the Amazon. With it's high biodiversity and over 12% of its land area set aside as protected parks, Suriname offers unparalleled opportunities for exploration.
