Marudi Mountain is a critical watershed that feeds into the river.[1]
The area surrounding the river is considered traditional lands of the Wapishana,[2] and they monitor the river for environmental threats.[3] Conrad Gorinsky was born in Parubaru, a settlement near the Kuyuwini.[4]
The river is often used for mining. Illegal mining is a problem in the area, and mining is prohibited under the fourth parallel.[5]
