Identification of Novel Species by Herpetological Foundation of Sri Lanka in Collaboration with Dilmah Conservation
Dilmah Conservation in collaboration with Herpetological Foundation of Sri Lanka has implemented a project on identification of new species of Herpetofauna, which will generate scientific evidence on their existence and promote conservation. This is the article published in Zootaxa Journal on the first new species identified as result of this research project – a species of Polypedates Tschudi …
