Abstract

Being a mountainous country with distinct altitudinal zonality, Armenia retains high diversity and endemism of plant and animal species. New edition of the Red Data Book represents an important official document and a guide towards the efficient conservation of Armenia’s unique fauna which demands for the large-scale work on the improvement of legislative background, implementation of population monitoring, early detection of imminent threats, and development of the regional strategy of genetic resources conservation. The goal of this article is to present Amphibians and Reptiles included in the new edition of Red Data Book of Armenia.
