ELR (Environmental Law and Policy in Suriname)

Environmental Law and Policy in Suriname (ELR) refers to the legal frameworks and governmental rules designed to protect the country’s natural environment, including forests, rivers, and wildlife. These laws aim to regulate activities like mining, logging, and agriculture to ensure sustainable use of resources while conserving biodiversity. ELR balances economic development with environmental preservation, promoting responsible practices and enforcing regulations to prevent pollution, habitat destruction, and illegal activities. It plays a vital role in maintaining Suriname’s ecological health, supporting sustainable growth, and ensuring that natural resources benefit both current and future generations.
