TO BETTER PREPARE YOUR VISIT

 

 

Produced by the ONF with the participation of CNES, this brochure presents in detail the rich flora and fauna of the landscapes in which the GSC installations are located. 

 

Through beautiful illustrations, you will learn more about the different types of savannah, their evolution over time and seasons, the history of their exploitation, and the measures taken by GSC for their conservation. 

 

CNES also owns a number of open-access trails on its territory, showcasing French Guiana's exceptional biodiversity: the Monkey Mountain trail and the GSC leisure zone trail in Kourou, the Piste de l’Anse trail in Sinnamary, and the trails on the Iles du Salut.
