Description

The National Zoological Collection of Suriname (NZCS) is a research institute of the Anton de Kom University of Suriname. Its main task is to make an overview of the fauna of Suriname. This is accomplished through active collecting during expeditions to the interior of Suriname and through research. Most research projects are focussed on the impact of human activities (mining, forestry, infrastructure, tourism, etc.) on biodiversity. The collections contain over 100,000 invertebrates and approx. 10,000 vertebrates.
