The Central Suriname Nature Reserve, Suriname, South America

THE CENTRAL SURINAME NATURE RESERVE (Suriname)

This site in NE South America preserves 6,200 sq mi of pristine montane and lowland primary tropical rainforest. Home to large mammals--like jaguars, giant armadillos, and eight species of primates--and over 5,000 plant species, it features granite domes, the highest mountain in Suriname, and a mountain range named for an explorer who died in the interior.
