Шаблон:Infobox Protected area Crique et Pripri Yiyi is a protected area in French Guiana, France. The protected area is a wetland, and as of 2008, also a Ramsar site under the name of Estuaire du fleuve Sinnamary. It consists of mudflats, mangroves, freshwater swamps and seasonally flooded savannahs.[1] Crique et Pripri Yiyi is located on the Atlantic Ocean coast[2] in the communes of Iracoubo and Sinnamary. The protected area is delimited by the Шаблон:Ill and Sinnamary Rivers.[3]

Name

The word Pripri means marsh in French Guianese Creole,[4] and Yiyi was the nickname of Sylvain Sophie who lived in the village of Trou Poisson during the 19th century.[3]

Flora and fauna

Crique et Pripri Yiyi is home to West Indian manatees,[1] bush dogs, Capybaras and common squirrel monkeys.[3] The wetlands attract many migratory birds. The population of semipalmated sandpipers can reach up to one million birds.[1] Other birds include masked ducks, Muscovy ducks, snail kites and scarlet ibises.[3] The beach is a nesting and foraging area of the green sea turtle.[1]

The area is home to several rare orchids: Habenaria pratensis, Habenaria trifida and Habenaria longicauda.[3]

Access

The site can be accessed from RN1 near the town of Sinnamary,[4] and is called Maison de la Nature (House of Nature).[3] A Шаблон:Convert footpath has been constructed through the marshes. There are two observatories within the protected area and an observation tower near the entrance.[4] There is an ecological museum on the site which can be visited free of charge.[2]
