Main article: Sipaliwini Savanna

The Sipaliwini Savanna is a 100,000 hectare nature reserve. It has been a protected area since 1972. The majority of the reserve consists of a savannah which in turn is a continuation of the Brazilian Tumucumaque Mountains National Park. The reserve is in pristine condition with almost no human habitation.[9] This reserve is one of the last frontiers in the tropics, however relatively little is known about the region.[10] The savannah is where the blue poison dart frog was discovered in 1969.[11]


Archaeology


The Werehpai archaeological site, which consists of caves containing petroglyphs of pre-Columbian origin, is located about 10 kilometres from Kwamalasamutu.[12] On the Sipaliwini Savanna relics were discovered of human habitation dating from about 6,000 BC.[13]
