 REPTILE AND AMPHIBIAN PROGRAM – SIERRA LEONE
The Reptile and Amphibian Program – Sierra Leone (RAP-SL) was formed in April 2012 with the vision of bridging the local gap in information on Reptiles and Amphibians of Sierra Leone and implementing programs for the conservation and sustainable development through site activities that will not only benefit the biodiversity of Sierra Leone but helps improve living conditions of locals. RAP-SL came to fruition in September 2012 with a mission to document all reptile and amphibian species of Sierra Leone and promote the protection, conservation and management of Sierra Leone’s natural resources for sustainable development. The organization is registered as a non-profit making, non-governmental environmental organization with membership open to the general public.
The main aim of RAP-SL is to have, after a five year of field work, a comprehensive list of reptiles and amphibians of Sierra Leone, with sufficient evidences including photos, in both soft and hard copies and a developed management plan for the protection and conservation of reptiles and amphibians of Sierra Leone implemented thereafter.
