Alessandro Huber works for a small transport company that flies over Suriname. In this country covered with 96% virgin forest, as soon as we move away from the maritime coast, we fly over what some call, the "Green Hell". Seen from the sky, it’s a gigantic emerald-colored rug. On the ground, it is an impassable primary forest with regions that are completely inaccessible by car or boat. Without his plane, it would take many days to connect the communities together. It is used in turn as an ambulance, taxi, freight truck, and armored van for transporting gold from mining companies.
