The name of Lake Amatitlán is derived from the Amate tree, a fig tree whose bark the Maya used to make paper. It is located in the Central Highlands of Guatemala, 28 kilometers (17 miles) south of Guatemala City, occupying the southern end of the Valley of Guatemala. Not to be confused with the much larger Lake Atitlán in Sololá Department to the west, Lake Amatitlán is seven and one-half miles long and up to three miles wide with water up to 130 feet deep.

The Invertebrate Zoology collection contains approximately 800,000 specimens, of which 70% are insects, and the Vertebrate Zoology collection contains more than 1.8 million specimens, including fishes, amphibians, reptiles, birds, and mammals.
In preparation for the upcoming collections move, we have adjusted our access policies:
First, when they are extended federal recognition, they can establish tribal governments that possess a measure of sovereignty. Non-recognized tribes can form tribal organizations but lack sovereign powers. Second, federally recognized tribes can have their reservation lands placed in trust. This means that their land is protected by the federal government from being purchased or taken by non-Indians.
