Abstract

French Guiana is the site of intensive and illegal gold mining which French military forces from the Harpie mission are engaged in combating. This gold washing is particularly harmful to the fauna and flora in the tropical rainforest. The army nurse provides the healthcare support for this mission, which is carried out in the rainforest, in an isolated location and with restricted resources.
