A new Internet site features informational maps about amphibians, reptiles and turtles in Kansas.

The Kansas Herpetofaunal Atlas is intended to help with education and conservation in the state. The atlas was developed with a grant awarded to the Sternberg Museum of Natural History in 2003 through the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and the Kansas Department of Wildlife and Parks.

The Web site, webcat.fhsu.edu/ksfauna/herps, allows the public to view current maps of different species in the state.

The Center for North American Herpetology, Kansas Herpetological Society and many other participants assisted with the atlas.
