Testudinidae The Caucasian Black Sea coast region are characterized by four assemblies of amphibians and reptiles: an European group entering the area from the west, north of the Black Sea, during the end of Tertiary, an East Mediterranean group entering the area from the west, south of the Black Sea, a Caucasian group and a Colchis group. We strongly recommend the formation of four Reserves for the protection of the diverse herpetofauna which includes several species and subspecies submitted to actual or potential threats. These areas are 1. The upper Mzymta river valley, from the Aishkha mountain range up to lake Kardyvach for the protection of a unique polymorphic population of Vipera dinniki. This region will be seriously affected by a construction of roads, hotels, ski pists etc. for planned Olympic Winter Games. 2. The Novorossiysk Reserve which includes habitat for taxa like Bufo verrucosissimiis circassicits, Triturus cristatus karelini, Testudo graeca nikolskii, Lacerta saxicola sherbaki, Lacerta media, Elaphe quatuorlineata sauromates, Vipera renardi, and Vipera kaznakovi. 3. The Gagrinskiy Reserve for protection of species like Lacerta saxicola darevskii, Bufo verrucosissima, Hyla arborea schelkownikovi, Lacerta derjugini, Vipera kaznakovi, Triturus vulgaris lantzi, Triturus vittatus, Natrix megalocephal. Pelodytes caitcasicus, Lacerta media and Emys orbicularis. 4. The Lasistan-Shavsketian Reserve on the Turkish-Georgian border, with species like Mertensiella caucasica, Hyla arborea schelkownikovi, Lacerta ntdis, Natrix megalocephala. Natrix nalrix (scittata), Vipera kaznakovi, Lacerta mixta, Lacerta parvula, Lacerta clarkorum
