About us
The National Institute for Environment and Development in Suriname (NIMOS) was established on March 15, 1998 as the executive body of the National Environmental Council (NMR). The NMR and NIMOS were the answer to negative environmental development. Suriname was confronted with environmental problems such as: - Poor drainage systems for wastewater; - Inadequate collection and disposal of waste; - Uncontrolled shell and sand excavations; - Mercury pollution of soil and waterways; - Uncontrolled discharge of industrial waste; NIMOS has built up a reputation within society and the government as an independent, technically competent, professional, and progressive partner in the regulation and structuring of the various sectors in charge of the environment.
