LIFE and Europe’s reptiles and amphibians

Reptiles and amphibians (collectively known as herpetofauna) are among the most diverse and colourful vertebrates in Europe. Sadly, they are often amongst the most threatened species too. This brochure highlights a selection of the many projects targeting reptiles and amphibians that LIFE has co-funded since its inception in 1992. These projects have variously focused on habitat restoration actions, captive breeding and reintroduction programmes and measures to safeguard the species in the wild (including awareness-raising).
