Abstract

The article presents information about the Amana nature reserve in French Guiana, which was established for the protection of marine turtles that nest on beaches. It is noted that the eggs of these sea turtles are in danger of being taken by Amerindian poachers. Comments are given concerning the tensions between Amerindians claiming their ancestral right to collect the eggs and conservationists seeking to protect the nature reserve.
