As in other parts of Central and South America, indigenous communities have increased their activism to protect their lands and preserve habitat. In March 2015, the "[[Trio people|Trio]] and [[Wayana people|Wayana]] communities presented a declaration of cooperation to the [[National Assembly of Suriname]] that announces an indigenous conservation corridor spanning 72,000 square kilometers (27,799 square miles) of southern Suriname. The declaration, led by these indigenous communities and with the support of [[Conservation International]] (CI) and [[World Wildlife Fund]] [[WWF Guianas|(WWF) Guianas]], comprises almost half of the total area of Suriname."<ref name="guardians">[http://www.conservation.org/NewsRoom/pressreleases/Pages/Guardians-of-the-Forest-Indigenous-Peoples-Take-Action-to-Conserve-Nearly-Half-of-Suriname.aspx "Guardians of the Forest: Indigenous Peoples Take Action to Conserve Nearly Half of Suriname"], 5 March 2015, Press Release, Conservation International; accessed 6 October 2016</ref> This area includes large forests and is considered "essential for the country's climate resilience, freshwater security, and green development strategy."<ref name="guardians"/>
== Tourism ==
The hotel industry is important to Suriname's economy. The rental of apartments, or the rent-a-house phenomenon, is also popular in Suriname.
Most tourists visit Suriname for the outstanding [[biodiversity]] of the pristine [[Amazon Basin|Amazonian]] rain forests in the south of the country, which are noted for their flora and fauna. The [[Central Suriname Nature Reserve]] is the biggest and one of the most popular reserves, along with the [[Brownsberg Nature Park]] which overlooks the [[Brokopondo Reservoir]], the latter being one of the largest man-made lakes in the world. Tonka Island in the reservoir is home to a rustic [[eco-tourism]] project run by the Saramaccaner Maroons.<ref>{{cite web|url= http://www.tonka-eiland.com/kennis.php|title=Tonka-eiland Saramaccaans kennis-centrum en Eco-toeristisch paradijs|year=2009|publisher=Tonka-Eiland|accessdate=2 October 2012}}</ref> [[Pangi (Maroon)|Pangi]] wraps and bowls made of calabashes are the two main products manufactured for tourists. The Maroons have learned that colorful and ornate pangis are popular with tourists.<ref>{{cite web |ref=harv |url=http://geography2.ruhosting.nl/masterthesis/scripties/BrounsRachelle.pdf |title=People in the beating heart of the Amazon |first=Rachelle |last=Brouns |publisher=Radboud university Nijmegen |date=February 2011 |accessdate=17 December 2011}}</ref> Other popular decorative souvenirs are hand-carved purple-hardwood made into bowls, plates, canes, wooden boxes, and wall decors.
There are also many waterfalls throughout the country. Raleighvallen, or Raleigh Falls, is a {{convert|56000|ha|acre|adj=on}} nature reserve on the [[Coppename River]], rich in bird life. Also are the Blanche Marie Falls on the [[Nickerie River]] and the Wonotobo Falls. Tafelberg Mountain in the centre of the country is surrounded by its own reserve – the Tafelberg Nature Reserve – around the source of the [[Saramacca River]], as is the Voltzberg Nature Reserve further north on the Coppename River at Raleighvallen. In the interior are many [[Maroon (people)|Maroon]] and [[Amerindian]] villages, many of which have their own reserves that are generally open to visitors.
Suriname is one of the few countries in the world where at least one of each [[biome]] that the state possesses has been declared a wildlife reserve. Around 30% of the total land area of Suriname is protected by law as reserves.
Other attractions include plantations such as [[Laarwijk]], which is situated along the Suriname River. This plantation can be reached only by boat via Domburg, in the north central [[Wanica District]] of Suriname.

The [[Jules Wijdenbosch Bridge]] is a [[bridge]] over the river Suriname between Paramaribo and Meerzorg in the Commewijne district. The bridge was built during the tenure of President [[Jules Albert Wijdenbosch]] (1996–2000) and was completed in 2000. The bridge is {{convert|52|m|ft}} high, and {{convert|1504|m|ft}} long. It connects Paramaribo with Commewijne, a connection which previously could only be made by ferry. The purpose of the bridge was to facilitate and promote the development of the eastern part of Suriname. The bridge consists of two lanes (one lane each way) and is not accessible to pedestrians.
The construction of the [[Saint Peter and Paul Cathedral, Paramaribo|Sts. Peter and Paul Cathedral]] started on 13 January 1883. Before it became a cathedral it was a theatre. The theatre was built in 1809 and burned down in 1820.
Suriname is one of the few countries in the world where [[Neveh Shalom Synagogue|a synagogue]] is located next to [[Mosque Keizerstraat|a mosque]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.wyndham.com/hotels/PBMWG/activities/main.wnt|title=Wyndham Garden Paramaribo|year=2010|publisher= Wyndham Hotels and Resorts, LLC|accessdate=18 August 2012}}</ref>
The two buildings are located next to each other in the centre of Paramaribo and have been known to share a parking facility during their respective religious rites, should they happen to coincide with one another.
A relatively new landmark is the Hindu [[Arya Dewaker]] temple in the Johan Adolf Pengelstraat in [[Wanica]], Paramaribo, which was inaugurated in 2001. A special characteristic of the temple is that it does not have images of the Hindu divinities, as they are forbidden in the [[Arya Samaj]], the Hindu movement to which the people who built the temple belong. Instead, the building is covered by many texts derived from the Vedas and other Hindu scriptures. The beautiful architecture makes the temple a tourist attraction.
