Biodiversity of Suriname

Scarlet ibis

The biodiversity of Suriname is high,[1] mostly because of the variety of habitats and warm temperatures. The average annual temperature in the coastal area is between 26° and 28°C. Suriname can be divided into four major ecological zones, namely from north to south;

  1. The young coastal plain
  2. The old coastal plain
  3. The Savannah or Zanderij belt
  4. The interior residual uplands[2]
