The Coppename Monding Nature Reserve (Dutch: Natuurreservaat Coppenamemonding) is a protected area and nature reserve in Suriname. The reserve is located near the mouth of the Coppename River.[1] The reserve measures 12,000 hectares,[2] and has been a protected area since 1961.[1]
This wetlands area is an important habitat for breeding birds, and attracts herons, scarlet ibises, and semipalmated sandpipers.[2] Almost 400,000 birds were counted during a survey in 2004.[3] The reserve has been placed on the Ramsar list of wetlands of international importance on 22 July 1985.[2]
