Our Vision
The HCT wishes to see viable populations
of all amphibian and reptile species distributed throughout their natural range,
functioning as important parts of their habitats and robust
to environmental change. These will be understood and valued by everyone,
make a contribution to people’s quality of life and further
their appreciation of the natural environment.
Our Mission
The Herpetological Conservation Trust’s Mission is to
improve the conservation status of reptiles and amphibians
in the wild and while focussing on the British Isles, we
will work to this end in Europe, the United Kingdom’s Crown
Dependencies, Overseas Territories and Sovereign bases and
elsewhere in the World.
