PROTECT OUR REPTILES & AMPHIBIANS

Southern African Herpetologists brings together reptile specialists from around the world to share a greater understanding of Africa's reptile and amphibian species.

It's About Last Chance

Africa has a rich diversity of reptile and amphibian species, many of which are endemic to the region, but time is running out for many of these creatures.

HOW YOU CAN HELP

The illegal wildlife trade poses the greatest danger to various reptile and amphibian species in Africa. By refraining from supporting trade and reporting it to the appropriate authorities, you contribute positively to the survival of affected species.
