About this document

Major habitats in the Jabiluka and Ranger uranium mining project areas of the Magela Creek region were surveyed, primarily to obtain an account of the terrestrial snake and lizard species occurring in each area.

From these and later surveys in the region by other consultants, a total of 74 species of snakes and lizards are now known from the Magela Creek region, making this one of the most diverse regions in Australia. Of these species, 13% appear to be endemic to the Arnhem Land Plateau.
