With the picturesque (and cheerfully polyglot) wooden capital of Paramaribo as her home base, Love took helicopter day-trips into the jungle, rode rapids in a dugout canoe, and visited a remote Amerindian village. Finally, she alighted at the quarries of Nana Resources, a mining operation committed to phasing out the use of mercury, which endangers communities and the rain forest—a major draw for tourism in the country. “The rain forest is the most important resource Suriname has,” Love says. “So they’re trying to mine in the most responsible way possible. It’s just too beautiful not to protect.”
