Together with documentary photographer David Hup, the Mulokot foundation and the The  Echo Echo Foundation we are going to explore the unknown pristine Wayana Indigenous territory in the south of Suriname. 

The rainforest of the Wayana is one of the richest on the planet. The dense, low-lying forests, the barren granitic rocky outcrops, and the broad meandering rivers full of rapids, host a crazy diversity of birds, mammals, frogs, reptiles, and insects. The iconic two-meter-long giant otter is seen on the shores of the river while toucans, macaws, and large colorful butterflies glide across the treetops. But the small community of Indigenous people is having a hard time protecting this paradise against outside forces. That is why the Wayana are reaching out to help document their biodiversity to give them the data that are needed to argue for conservation and for more sustainable revenues, like ecotourism.
