La Guyane doit relever aujourd'hui de nombreux défis environnementaux, humains et économiques.

In French Guiana, 220 miles of coastline stretch between the estuaries of the Oyapock and Maroni rivers, a highly unstable region of silt banks formed from sediment carried up and down the shore from the Amazon delta in Brazil. Here, a mangrove forest has taken root, among the best-preserved in the world, at the heart of a high-stakes environmental debate due to its role as feeding and breeding grounds for many species, and its capacity for carbon sequestration.
This richly illustrated work is at once a showcase for the Guiana coastline and its exceptional estuaries, as well as an invitation to rethink the interactions between humans and their environment.
