The incredible<br />
Amazonian rainforest<br />
With 90% of primary forest, <strong>French</strong> <strong>Guiana</strong> is home to one<br />
of the <strong>la</strong>st remaining primary tropical rainforests on earth.<br />
Over 1,300 types of trees, 190 species of mammals and no less<br />
than 700 species of birds form <strong>French</strong> <strong>Guiana</strong>’s immeasurable<br />
natural heritage.<br />
This precious gem, poorly known, sometimes feared, and in<br />
more and more danger from man, is waiting to be discovered,<br />
respectfully.<br />
Although the fauna has a wealth and diversity of species, you<br />
would be wrong to think it’s easy to see the animals in their<br />
natural habitat. Monkeys, jaguars, <strong>de</strong>er, agoutis, parrots, etc,<br />
can only be seen from the forest path with a lot of patience<br />
and luck.<br />
But imagine the joy for the photographer or nature lover when<br />
such an encounter occurs!<br />
