Abstract
Globally, reptiles, like all terrestrial vertebrates, are currently facing human induced
population declines at an unprecedented level. However, from a South African
perspective, it is unclear how human pressures are affecting reptiles. One of the
reasons this is so, is due to a scarcity of community level baseline information, thus
hindering our ability to adequately monitor fluctuations in species and populations.
This thesis aims to critically evaluate and map the current state of knowledge
concerning reptile communities in South Africa.
