Kent Reptile & Amphibian Group (KRAG) promotes Herpetofauna (reptiles and amphibians) conservation in Kent, South-East England.
Recording
KRAG’s primary purpose is to record herpetofauna (amphibians and reptiles) in the county of Kent. We want to build up long-term records for key sites in Kent in an attempt to understand the ecology of these wonderful creatures as well as safeguarding them from development or mismanagement. We achieve this through our own recording projects, encouraging others to record amphibians and reptiles and providing a secure database for others to submit their findings. We actively welcome records from the general public.

Raising awareness

Reptiles and amphibians are under threat in Kent, as in the rest of the United Kingdom, from development, persecution and general loss of habitat. Could you become an active member of KRAG and help them?
