Kent Reptile & Amphibian Group (KRAG) promotes Herpetofauna (reptile and amphibian) conservation in Kent, South-East England.
Recording Herpetofauna
KRAG endeavours to record the distribution and monitor the status of herpetofauna in the county. We want to build up long-term records for key sites in Kent in an attempt to safeguard them from development or mismanagement.
We also welcome records of sightings from members of public.
Information and AdviceWe provide general advice on reptiles and amphibians and their habitat
management to relevant organisations and the general public.
The group has also carried out surveys for local authorities, providing management advice and has provided recommendations to local authorities and developers on mitigation where development threatens herpetofauna populations.
Raising Awareness
Public events include rambles led by experienced recorders, practical habitat conservation days and popular survey training sessions. We produce a twice yearly newsletter for members.
Reptiles and amphibians are under threat in Kent, as in the rest of the United Kingdom, from development, persecution and general loss of habitat. Could you become an active member of KRAG and help them?
