Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Infobox mountain

Cottica Mountain (also Kotika Mountain. French: Montagne Cottica. Aluku: Lebi Dotsi[1]) is a 744 metres high mountain near the Lawa River in the commune of Papaichton in French Guiana, France.

Overview

Cottica Mountain is close to the Surinamese village of Cottica. In both cases, the name refers to the Aluku Maroons who initially settled along the Cottica River, and were later driven to the interior of French Guiana.[2] Cottica Mountain rises up from the Lawa River and dominates the area.[1]

The mountain was ignored by scientists until 2005 when two naturalists started investigating the area, and discovered a remarkable biodiversity.[1] The steep descend from the mountain to the river has resulted in a diverse number of plant species, and created wild streams descending through the rainforest.[3] In 2014, an area of Шаблон:Convert was designated as ZNIEFF, an important natural environment.[4]
