Around 80 percent of Suriname is pristine rainforest. As a result, Suriname has great ecological diversity. The many rivers and the Atlantic coast provide Suriname with an abundant supply of food and economic products.

Around 5 percent of the population live in the forested interior. But many of Suriname's people live in the built environment. Specifically, around half of the population live in Paramaribo, the capital city. The rest of the population mainly live along the coast.

Suriname is one of the top 10 producers of bauxite in the world. The Republic also has significant aluminum oxide[alumina], diamond, gold, and oil deposits. The Aluminum Company of America subsidiary, SURALCO, has been mining bauxite in Suriname since 1916.
