Description
This report describes the mining and colonialist influences on the collapse of the Suriname economy, and how the indigenous peoples and Maroon communities have been excluded from power. Desperate for cash, Suriname is now selling off the country´s minerals and forests to foreign companies, undermining the peoples' lives. The report offers an alternative path based on securing community rights to the forests.
