This brief research note provides a radical update of Maroon population figures, which have
nearly doubled during the past decade. Based on official 2012 Suriname and Guyane census
data, projected two years forward, it offers a picture of the location and size of each of the
Maroon peoples of Suriname and Guyane as of 2014. They now number some 210,000 people
and constitute 23 percent of the population of Suriname and 26 percent of the population
of Guyane.
