Questions, help or just curious?Green Growth Forests
With the Green Growth Forest app, everyone can contribute to keeping Suriname the greenest country on earth.
Suriname is a small country in South America, an impressive 93 per cent of it is covered in dense forests. One could say it‘s one of the greenest countries on the planet. It's forest contributes to the world’s climate change as one of two carbon negative countries globally, and it harbours the world’s fourth-largest amount of freshwater resources.
A Citizen Science App to keep Suriname green
To keep it that way, the Green Growth Suriname Foundation invites citizens to keep watch on the forests and the tree logging there, and contribute to complement existing national data on forest conservation.
Data gathered by citizens in the app can help scientists understand the drivers of tree logging and find solutions for it.
