The pollution of Suriname’s Saramacca River has thrown riverside communities into crisis, leaving thousands of households dependent on emergency food and clean water aid that only addresses immediate needs, not the devastating loss of livelihoods that has upended daily life across the region. Village leaders across affected communities are now calling for structural, long-term support and clear official guidance on when fish from the river will again be safe for consumption, allowing residents to resume their traditional income-generating activities.
