Abstract
This document is the result of a participatory research carried out, between
2013 and 2016, by Tropenbos Suriname and the Saamaka communities
living in the Upper Suriname River region. It is embedded in a joint project
with the Association of Saamaka Authorities (VSG) and WWF. The project
objective was twofold: 1) to provide a spatial explicit understanding on the
ecosystem services that are important for the Saamaka communities as
well as assess their current state in their provision and threats, and 2) to
understand how the local knowledge of Saamaka communities can be used
to support a process of inclusive policy making that recognizes the needs and
priorities of Saamaka communities regarding ecosystem service use.
