Thailand is home to over 350 species of reptiles, consisting of
many kinds of turtles and tortoises, lizards, snakes and
crocodiless. With its extensive network of protected areas,
Thailand is one of the richest and most ecologically diverse
countries in the world. However, many of these species are being
threatened more than ever before, including habitat loss caused by
agricultural expansion and intensification, and from wildlife
trade. For herpetologists and naturalists, understanding the
reptiles of Thailand is now more important than ever before. With A
Field Guide to the Reptiles of Thailand, Tanya Chan-ard, John Parr,
and Jarujin Nabhitabhata present the definitive resource for
identifying and understanding all known species of reptile in the
region. It is the only updated and complete guide to the country's
reptilian life in existence. The book contains an account of every
species, complete with nomenclature, colour illustrations, and
range maps of known locations. The accounts include discussion of
behaviour, morphological measurements, and habitat, as well as the
most current information on each species' conservation status. The
authors explain the current system of classifying the threat level
of endangerment, making the presented information and terminology
understandable and useful. The introduction to the book discusses
the history of herpetology in Thailand, as well as its climate,
physiography, and zoogeography. A section on how to use the guide
most effectively has also been included to make the book accessible
to a wide range of both scientists and nature enthusiasts. A Field
Guide to the Reptiles of Thailand is the definitive and most
comprehensive resource for herpetologists, naturalists, and
conservationists working in Thailand.
