		French Guiana, lying north of Brazil and east of Suriname on the northeast coast of South America, was variously settled by the Spanish, Dutch, and French.
		The French used it as a penal colony between 1852 and 1939, which included the infamous Devil's Island.
		Since then, many indigenous French Guianians have called for increased autonomy, although only around 5% favor independence from France, partly due to the vast subsidies from the French government.

	Endangered Turtles' Trek Along Ocean Currents Revealed By Satellite
		The site where Europe's spacecraft are launched into orbit, the Atlantic shoreline of French Guiana, is also the starting point for another hardly less remarkable journey: the epic migration of the critically endangered leatherback turtle.
		They are working to uncover connections between the apparently meandering routes followed by turtles and the local ocean conditions, and so develop strategies to minimise the unintended but deadly threat posed to leatherbacks by deep-sea fishing.
		French schools have been given the chance to take part as part of an educational oceanographic scheme called Argonautica, with classes participating in the Argo-luth project, analysing turtle movements against outputs from MERCATOR, a model that presently covers the North and Equatorial Atlantic Ocean and assimilates radar altimeter data on an operational basis.

	Gold seekers turn river in French Guiana into environmental nightmare
		Instead, an estimated 12,000 workers, for the most part illegal workers from across the border in Brazil, roam the rivers in search of the precious metal, poisoning the rivers with the quicksilver they use to extract the gold.
		The use of quicksilver in gold prospecting adds to the 280 tonnes of mercury that the Bureau of Geological and Mining Research (BRGM) estimates to be locked in the soil, and which is being released into the air as the result of the intense traffic and movement caused by the gold rush.
		Gold fever returned to French Guiana about 15 years ago, as pandhandlers began revisiting remote deposits along the Approague river that had been abandoned a century ago.
