Reptiles and Amphibians of the Trans-Fly Region, New Guinea

Abstract

There are 102 species of reptiles and 25 species of frogs known from the Trans-fly region. 29 of the reptiles and one of the frogs are of special conservation concern. Seven of these species are of high conservation concern: 2 turtles, a monitor lizard, three snakes, and one frog. More field survey work is needed to determine the status of these and other species in order to guide and inform natural resource management action in the Trans-Fly region.
