Discover the Asian HERPETOLOGY
We, the central hub uniting the Asian community of herpetologists under one roof, are working toward a common goal — a continent-wide community built for connection, collaboration, and shared growth. Here, researchers, students, conservationists, traders, and herp enthusiasts come together to exchange knowledge, strengthen regional networks, and support one another across 49 Asian nations. Join us to access a vibrant ecosystem of opportunities, including research partnerships, fieldwork collaborations, job openings, scholarships, training programs, congresses, and professional development pathways. Become a member today and be part of Asia’s unified voice in herpetology.

Asian Herpetologist (ISSN: 0000-0000) is the official journal of the Asian Herpetological Association (AHA).
Asian Herpetologist is an international, open-access (CC BY), peer-reviewed journal committed to accelerating scientific discovery and conservation across the full breadth of Asia’s reptile and amphibian diversity.
We publish work that pushes boundaries, unifies disciplines, and deepens the world’s understanding of the continent’s herpetofauna — from rainforests to deserts, from archipelagos to alpine zones, from megacities to remote ecosystems rarely seen by science. The journal exists to elevate Asian herpetology into a continental research enterprise: integrative, data-rich, collaborative, and driven by a new generation of scientists who understand that biodiversity knowledge is a form of strategic power.
Editor-in-chief: Dr. A. A. Thasun
Deputy editor: Dr. Tharusha Wijewardena
