Welcome to the Tanzaniaherps website

Tanzaniaherps is a long-term project of the Museo Tridentino di Scienze Naturali, Trento, Italy (MTSN), the Wildlife Conservation Society, New York, US (WCS), the University of Dar es Salaam, Tanzania (UDSM), with the collaboration of the Institute of Biogeography of the University of Basel, Switzerland.

Tanzaniaherps serves two primary purposes. The first is to provide the most current information available on the herpetofauna of Tanzanian Mountains, including information on identification, life history, habitat, status, threats, management concerns and distribution.

The second purpose is to obtain additional information about Tanzania amphibians and reptiles (Tanzaniaherps Atlas). To obtain reliable information, submitted records will be evaluated by experts and once confirmed will be added to the list of accepted records and the contributor to the list of contributors. All the information will be available online.
