ACT Herpetological Association
Each year the ACT Herpetological Association (ACTHA) in partnership with the Australian National Botanic Gardens (ANBG) put on a week long exhibition in January showcasing a variety of Australian reptiles and amphibians, many of which are threatened, endangered and very rarely seen in the wild or captivity.
Promoting & Protecting Australian Herpetofauna
Herpetology is the branch of zoology concerned with reptiles and amphibians. Established in 1985, the ACT Herpetological Association aims to promote the study and conservation of reptiles and amphibians, and to foster a positive community attitude toward this misunderstood group of animals. Our members encompass a broad cross-section of the community.
