How does the people of Brazil depend on its environment?
The Surinamese depend upon the ecological and economic diversity of their country. The many rivers and the Atlantic coast provide Suriname with an abundant supply of food and economic products.
Around 80 percent of Suriname is pristine rainforest, where only 5 percent of the population lives. So most Surinamese live in close contact with the built environment. Specifically, around half of the population lives in Paramaribo, the capital city. The rest of the population mainly lives along the coast.
Suriname is one of the top 10 producers of bauxite in the world. The country also has significant gold deposits. SURALCO, asubsidiary of the Aluminum Company of America, has been mining bauxite in Suriname since 1916. Mining and logging have the potential for significant deforestation, which affects all aspects of Surinamese life.

How much is a 1976 silver dollar worth?
It really depends upon the condition. You can get a coin book which will give you a ballpark estimate or go to a coin shop. Or go to online coin buy/sell sites.
If it is a copper-nickel clad circulation strike, it's worth a dollar.
If it has an "S" mintmark and is mint-sealed in mylar with a blue envelope, it is an uncirculated 40% silver coin worth about $6.
If it is a proof coin sealed in a hard plastic case and packaged in a brown box (also with an "S" mintmark) it lists at $6.50. It can range from $6 to $10 in auction, but usually even non-circulated rolls when sold at an auction will bring less than face value after the auctioneer's commission is taken out.

No. Brazil is a federative republic. It was an empire until 1889 though, so it did have a royal family.
