Reptile Habitat Management Handbook

Lizards and snakes in Great Britain have declined, primarily due to habitat loss, degradation and fragmentation. Even on protected sites they have not always been safe, as standard habitat management measures do not always encourage reptiles to thrive. In extreme cases, habitat management has even caused declines and local extinctions. This
handbook encourages positive measures for reptiles across a range of land uses. It has been written
primarily for managers of nature conservation sites, though the guidance will also help many other land managers.
