Regina is a municipality in the south of French Guiana, on the banks of the Maroni River, near the Brazilian border, in a vast rainforest hinterland. As part of the French Overseas Region of French Guiana, it retains a pristine natural landscape, is sparsely populated, and is characterized by ecological resources and multiculturalism. The local economy is based on agriculture, forestry and small-scale eco-tourism, and the inhabitants are mostly of Creole, Aboriginal and European descent, and French is commonly spoken. The rich biodiversity around Regina makes it one of the most important gateways for exploring the ecology of the Amazon rainforest, and due to the special administrative status of French Guiana, it combines the administrative system of mainland France with the unique tropical flavor of South America.
