Suriname’s President Jennifer Simons announced a series of ambitious new environmental and land protection measures during a government press conference on Monday, framing the defense of indigenous territorial rights and critical ecosystems as one of her administration’s top policy priorities. The core of the new policy push is a draft state decree designed to block the sudden granting of land and mineral rights within and around the traditional residential and livelihood territories of the country’s indigenous and tribal communities, a longstanding grievance for marginalized groups across the nation.
