Some of the most outstanding features in Central Suriname Nature Reserve are several granite domes – uplifted monoliths of granite rising high above the surrounding rainforest. Barren surface of dark-colored granite is exposed to impact of Sun thus creating unique xerophytic biotope which includes also endemic plant species.

Transitioning to a zero carbon city means examining the generation of power sources, such as renewable electricity and decarbonising electricity production.
