"OUR journey begins deep inside the Central Suriname Nature Reserve, the world's largest tract of pristine protected rain forest." So begins an account of a hike through The last Eden (the australian news.com)
The author describes the trek through the dense rainforest, encountering wildlife and birding.
"Suriname has long attracted birdwatchers keen to add the crimson fruitcrow and the harpy eagle to their life-sightings lists. Their numbers dwindled after a military coup in 1980 and the civil war that followed but, thanks to recent political stability and the lobbying efforts of groups such as Conservation International, bird numbers have increased. This is an ecotourism destination that's on the comeback track."
