No strictly endemic species of Suriname meet the criteria for this list.
Understand that “endemic” means a species is found only inside the political borders of Suriname. Many plants and animals in Suriname range across the Guiana Shield and northern Amazon. Political borders do not usually match natural ranges. This makes strict, country-only endemics rare or absent for Suriname.
Note that taxonomy, incomplete surveys, and changing range data create this result. Many species once thought local are now known from neighbouring Guyana, French Guiana, Brazil or Guyana + Suriname together. Close alternatives include species restricted to the Guiana Shield or to single river basins and mountain outcrops. For example, birds and plants often occur across the Guianas (e.g., Guianan cock-of-the-rock) rather than only inside Suriname.
Consider related categories that do exist and may interest you: near-endemics of the Guianas, species with very small ranges inside Suriname (river- or tepui‑specialists), endemic subspecies, and many undescribed invertebrates. Explore Guiana Shield endemics, Suriname species with highly restricted ranges, and authoritative sources such as IUCN, GBIF, and national biodiversity reports for the best next steps.
