The Amazonian savannas of French Guiana are rare and of high ecological and cultural value but are also highly threatened. They are socioecological systems that have been coconstructed by humans and nature and today form mosaic landscapes along the country’s coast. From pre-Columbian raised fields through colonial and Créole uses to contemporary uses, they have been largely shaped and modified by human activities. They are currently threatened by changes in fire regimes, agricultural practices, invasive species, and infrastructure development. Less than 3% are protected, despite their importance for several endangered animal and plant species. A shift is required in the way we think about their conservation to create a new strategy that would be completely different from existing French environmental protection tools and adapted to the complexity of these landscapes.

法属圭亚那的亚马逊热带稀树草原：文化和社会重要性、生物多样性和保护挑战

法属圭亚那的亚马逊热带稀树草原稀有，具有很高的生态和文化价值，但也受到高度威胁。它们是由人类和自然共同构建的社会生态系统，如今在该国沿海形成马赛克景观。从前哥伦布时期的农田到殖民时期和克里奥尔人的用途，再到现代用途，它们在很大程度上已被人类活动塑造和改造。它们目前受到火灾状况、农业实践、入侵物种和基础设施发展变化的威胁。尽管它们对几种濒危动植物物种很重要，但只有不到 3% 受到保护。
