About the report
In February 2005, the Australian Government Department of Environment and Heritage (DEH), commissioned Australian Museum Business Services (AMBS) to undertake a field survey of the native reptiles of islands in the Norfolk Island complex.
The need for such a survey was recognised by DEH following the preparation of a draft Recovery Plan (Cogger, 2004) which indicated that the available data on which to base such a plan was almost entirely restricted to that collected for a survey of Norfolk Island reptiles conducted in 1978 (Cogger et al., 1979, 1983).
