Abstract

Tasek Bera Ramsar Site (TBRS) is the largest freshwater wetland located in Pahang state of Peninsular Malaysia. This natural wetland has a unique complex and diverging ecosystem providing a sustainable habitat for various species of amphibians and reptiles. Several herpetofauna surveys of this wetland had been documented previously. We review these published herpetological literatures to prepare a comprehensive current revised checklist of herpetofauna species of TBRS. This revised and updated checklist of herpetofauna species reported 32 species of amphibians and 55 species of reptiles for TBRS which equivalent to approximately 29 and 19 of the total number of amphibian and reptile species recorded in Peninsular Malaysia respectively. This reviewed data of herpetofauna of TBRS will be helpful in the integrated management and conservation plan of wildlife species specifically herpetofauna of TBRS.
