About Suriname
 
The tropics is a region of the earth surrounding the Equator; it is limited in latitude by the Tropic of Cancer in the northern hemisphere and Tropic of Capricorn in the southern hemisphere. 
Suriname is a small country on the northeastern coast of South America. It's defined by vast swaths of tropical rainforest, Dutch colonial architecture and the population is one of the most ethnically diverse in the region.
It has a North Atlantic Ocean coastline in the north and is surrounded by French Guiana to the east, Brazil to the south and Guyana to the west. 
 
Tropical Hardwoods originate from three main continents of Africa (West and Central), Asia and South America. Comparing all the tropical regions of the world the Amazon forests are the richest in plant species with more than one third of all species in the world living in the Amazon. The variety of wood species in Suriname is one of the largest in the world. According to the FAO (2015) Suriname has around 15.3 million hectares of forested land, which constitutes to 95.4% of the total land area. Almost the full extent of the 15.3 million hectares are primary forests. 
 
Suriname’s natural forests include tropical rainforest, seasonal forests, marsh forest and mountain forest, and are part of the wider Guyana Shield rainforest Eco-region. All formally established nature reserves and other protected and conservation areas have been established by explicit legal documents that provide strict guidelines for protection and use. Concession areas are also allocated on the basis of explicit legal documents that provide information on boundaries as well as guidelines for their management and use.
 
Due to widely used selective logging methods in Suriname and a low forest utilization level (an average of 7 m3 per ha), it is not necessary to do artificial generation (forest planting) within the production forest.
