There has been little to no conservation help for reptiles as most of them are still very unknown. Reptiles are very important to Australia's ecosystems and need more protection, they help keep unwanted insects at bay as well as other little non native and even poisonous critters.

According to new research from CSIRO 20 terrestrial snakes and lizards are at great risk of extinction in the next two decades if there is no change in the way we look after our homes.
