There are 28 species of geckos, snakes and lizards unique to Taiwan, amounting to one-third of all native species, and holding significant evolutional and ecological importance; however, due to the destruction of ther habitats, reptiles can no longer be found on the plains or hills. With the preservation and education of reptile species in mind, specimens and images in the collection of the Museum of Natural Science will be digitized, and popular knowledge will be furthered through the use of videos and slides.
