The Herpetofauna of Corfu and Adjacent Islands
By Bo Stille and Marie Stille
This comprehensive guide documents all 38 species of reptiles and amphibians known from the Greek island of Corfu (Kerkyra) and its satellite islands. Richly illustrated and meticulously researched, the book not only profiles each species in detail but also explores the islands’ geography, geology, climate, and habitat diversity.
The authors address critical conservation concerns, including the threats posed by habitat loss, pollution, and human development over the past 30 years. By highlighting both the ecological importance and the fragility of Corfu’s herpetofauna, the book aims to raise awareness, inspire future research, and encourage the protection of these often-overlooked animals.
