RE: Learn Something New Every Day Contest. Day 8
Sorry for being out longer than expected @gogogadgetupvote.
Finally uploaded my Social Media in Suriname video which featured one major thing people don't know.
Suriname is the most forested country in the world, with 90.20-98.3% (depending on your source) covered in green.
It's a very hot topic right now, because on one side we want to promote our rainforest as the ecotourism destination of the world, on the other side our government is allowing companies to destroy it in their quest to find gold. :(
First place today!
Cool. I love the forest. That sucks about the beauty being destroyed just for a bit of shiny metal, though..
Thanks. Yes, it really is disappointing. And interestingly, it are really the Multinationals who are reaping the benefits, as government can't seem to manage their finances properly.
But, because you love the forest, one of our latest videos made by a local. Hope you like it:
