93 % of Suriname’s land area is covered by pristine rainforest, which is vital for the biodiversity and the livelihoods of indigenous and local communities. Despite its value, the forest is vulnerable to deforestation and degradation due to the lack of legal protection, putting over ten million hectares at risk. There is also a lack of collaboration between environmental and indigenous rights organizations, hindering efforts to protect these lands. 

Re:wild aims to contribute to the long-term conservation of Suriname’s forests by mobilizing local civil society and supporting locally-led conservation efforts, strategic advocacy, and legal protection. 

The project is funded with 9 360 000 SEK.
