Suriname's government faces scrutiny over deforestation practices as new reports reveal significant forest loss in the Amazon rainforest region, per WV News.

Local woodcarvers are increasingly drawn to gold mining and logging industries, despite government efforts to curb illegal activities, according to NWA Online.

The country's economy is forecast to grow by a record 21.5 percent in 2028, though environmental concerns remain amid expanding industrial activity, Suriname Times notes.
