The knowledge of the geographical and ecological distribution of wildlife is an increasingly essential element in the preservation of biodiversity and in the territorial planning. The present volume represents a synthesis of the past and present knowledge on Amphibians and Reptiles living in the Province of Rome. It includes, respectively, 13 and 18 species; some of these species are widespread in the provincial territory while others, like for instance the Apennine Yellow-bellied Toad among the Amphibians and the Rat Snake among the Reptiles, represent in many areas wildlife or ecological relicts of great conservation value.
