Description
This dataset includes all animal species of Suriname included in the IUCN Red List Categories Near Threatened, Vulnerable, Endangered and Critically Endangered. In addition, all species occurring in Suriname and listed in Appendices I and II of CITES. A third category are species considered threatened according to local experts. These species have been given a NZCS assessment. This usually concerns species not (yet) included in the IUCN Red List or species not yet fully described for science.
Data Records
The data in this checklist resource has been published as a Darwin Core Archive (DwC-A), which is a standardized format for sharing biodiversity data as a set of one or more data tables. The core data table contains 113 records.
1 extension data tables also exist. An extension record supplies extra information about a core record. The number of records in each extension data table is illustrated below.
This IPT archives the data and thus serves as the data repository. The data and resource metadata are available for download in the downloads section. The versions table lists other versions of the resource that have been made publicly available and allows tracking changes made to the resource over time.
Versions
The table below shows only published versions of the resource that are publicly accessible.

Project Data
The purpose of this project is to make the various collections at the main institutions housing the biodiversity information available digitally through publication and the possible creation of a CariBIF portal for the region (Atlas of Living Caribbean). The Introduced Fauna Suriname Checklist was especially created to supply data for the Atlas of Living Caribbean.

Sampling Methods
This data was predominantly collected using international checklists/websites/publications (IUCN, CITES etc), but also through monitoring surveys.
| Study Extent | The data was collected from many areas in Suriname. |
|---|---|
| Quality Control | The data was verified using international checklists/websites/publications (IUCN, CITES etc). In some cases the identification of specimens was rechecked by (foreign) experts. |
Method step description:
- 1. The IUCN Red List and CITES Appendices were used to determine which species occur in Suriname. 2. The NZCS added species usually endemics that have a limited distribution and are under threat usually by mining. 3. The data of the positively identified endangered species was then compiled into a checklist.
