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.Purpose
The purpose is to have a checklist of endangered species which can be used by the Atlas of Living Caribbean that is being developed.
Sampling Description
Study Extent
The data was collected from many areas in Suriname.Sampling
This data was predominantly collected using international checklists/websites/publications (IUCN, CITES etc), but also through monitoring surveys.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 steps
- 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.
Taxonomic Coverages
All endangered species were listed to species level using the IUCN Red List of Endangered Species, CITES Appendices and in a few cases given an NZCS assessment.
