An understanding of the conservation status of Madagascar’s endemic reptile species is needed to underpin conservation planning and priority setting in this global biodiversity hotspot, and to complement existing information on the island’s mammals, birds and amphibians. We report here on the first systematic assessment of the extinction risk of
endemic and native non-marine Malagasy snakes, lizards, turtles and tortoises
