“the impact on biodiversity loss due to human causes (habitat destruction, pollution, and climate change) must be controlled through proper national legislation, enforced controls, as well as cultural shifts in public attitudes towards the environment. Obviously, procedures against the release of invasive non-native species that can be harmful to reptile populations must also be prohibited. Furthermore, international agreements must be made to restrict the trade in vulnerable and endangered reptile species, and threatened species must be saved from imminent extinction by expanding populations in ex situ captive breeding programs and reintroducing them in the wild following proper habitat protection, changes in cultural attitudes, and strengthened international trade regulations. Hopefully, these steps can avert the alarming decline in reptile populations and the loss of a potentially valuable source of lead compounds for innovative therapeutics.”…
