the unregulated small and medium size gold mining activities that are being executed in the interior are the main threat to Surinam's

pristine forests and groundwater.

in addition, the large Chinese logging companies which obtained licenses from the respective governments to cut unprocessed wood in the forests without planting again can also be mentioned as a big and urgent treat to the forests. in exchange they give some monetary assistance to the governments, but the respective parts of the forests are lost forever.
