Abstract     
Aside from habitat loss and alteration, one of the largest challenges to managing herpetofauna in the United States is the use of wild, native amphibians and reptiles, including turtles, for human food consumption, pets, and hobbyist captive breeding, among other uses. To begin to assess the current state of regulatory authority over the use of herpetofauna, The Association of Fish and Wildlife Agencies’ Amphibian and Reptile Subcommittee, in partnership with the Law Enforcement Committee, collected laws and regulations from each state fish and wildlife agency and compiled into a draft report, State of the Union: Legal Authority Over the Use of Native Amphibians and Reptiles in the United States. An initial draft of this report served as a basis for discussion at a November 2009 Summit, “Applying the North American Model to Amphibians and Reptiles: Ensuring Sustainable Use,” held in Atlanta, Georgia. Following the Summit, the State of the Union report was updated based on requests from the attendees. Findings from the final report, along with preliminary recommendations, will be presented with an emphasis on the regulatory approaches pertaining to turtles.
