Herpetofauna monitoring in Samaria National Park

Three species of amphibians and eleven species of reptiles have been documented in the White Mountains area. The relatively low number of herpetofauna species is due to the infrequency of surface water in the White Mountains. All of the species monitored are common throughout Greece. Aside for the terrestrial reptiles and amphibians, there monitoring (presence/absence) is also being performed for the Loggerhead turtle (Caretta caretta) in the coastal front of the National Park.
