Reptile Species Working Group

Reptiles in Nigeria, including snakes, lizards, and turtles, face threats from habitat loss, illegal trade, and persecution. This group seeks to improve knowledge of reptile diversity and distribution, reduce human-reptile conflict, and promote conservation actions that safeguard reptile populations and their habitats.
