Шаблон:Infobox Protected area The Amana Nature Reserve (French: Réserve naturelle nationale de l'Amana) is a nature reserve in French Guiana, France.[1] It has been protected, because it is one of the world's largest leatherback turtle nesting site.[2][3] It is part of the communes of Awala-Yalimapo and Mana.[4]

Overview

The nature reserve stretches from the Maroni to the Шаблон:Ill. The reserve consists of beaches, mangrove forests, swamps and savannahs.[1]

Leatherback sea turtles need very specific nesting beaches, and return to the same beach every two to three years. It is an vulnerable species with a limited number of suitable beaches.[5] The neighbouring Wia Wia Nature Reserve in Suriname was used by the turtles as well until the beach shifted resulting in the disappearance of the turtles.[6]

The beaches at Amana were home to 5,029 to 63,294 nests between 1967 and 2005.[5] The turtles lay their eggs between March and July, dig a hole which will contain 80 to 90 eggs. The hole is located between the high water mark and the vegetation. The baby turtles will emerge about two months later.[7]

Other turtles who use the beach are the green sea turtle, the olive ridley sea turtle and occasionally the hawksbill sea turtle.[1]
