Why put up such a sign in a green area? Because there is so much water in Cayenne, and so much dirt that gets brought ashore from the ocean, that wild plants take root and grow quickly, obscuring beautiful views and colonizing new wetlands, as seen near the Old Port.
At times, I really wish Cayenne would do more eco-engineering to prevent this, because it would make the city much more tourist-friendly if there were always views where guidebooks say there are. But I have a feeling Cayenne has ceded the tourist attractions to the areas around the city, with more nature and fewer people.
