Hertenrits
Within the Bigi Pan Nature Reserve there are five terpen (artificial mounts). They were located in the middle of the swamp, and remains from the pre-Columbian era had been discovered in the mounts.[4] Some of the finds were 15,000 to 20,000 year old.[5]
Hertenrits measures hectares, and was designated a protected area in 1972.[6] There were no laws concerning culture reserves at the time, therefore it was declared a nature reserve in 1972.[7]
Waterloo
Waterloo was a cotton plantation founded in 1819 by James Balfour which later became a sugar plantation.[8] Waterloo would become one of the biggest plantation of Nickerie.[9] In 1936, Waterloo was bought by Amin Sankar.[10] The conditions were bad at the sugar estate, and the contract workers were not allowed to enter or leave the plantation without permission from the owner.[11] In 1969,[12] a strike was called by Eddy Bruma.[11] Sankar fired all workers,[13] and closed the estate.[12] In 2020, Waterloo was taken over by the jungle.[14]
