Sommario/riassunto

The Lely and Nassau Plateaus in eastern Suriname contain a wide range of habitats, and they also serve as an important watershed for the region and offer potential employment through small-scale mining. This book presents the results of a 2005 biological survey to the region that collected data on birds, mammals, fishes, and select insect species.
