Lucifer Dékou-Dékou Biological Reserve
Wilderness area in French Guiana
The Lucifer Dékou-Dékou Biological Reserve (French: Réserve biologique intégrale de Lucifer Dékou Dékou) is a wilderness area in French Guiana, France. The reserve is located in the communes of Apatou and Saint-Laurent-du-Maroni. It is the largest wilderness area of France, and consists of two separate parts, two mountain ranges covered in tropical rainforest; to the north are the Lucifer Mountains, to the south are the Dékou-Dékou Mountains .[3] Controversially, the Montagne d'Or mine, the biggest mining project in France, is located in between the two ranges.[4][5][6]
