The Herpetofauna Albanian Society (HAS) is a non-governmental organization working on the scientific research and conservation of the environment and different species of amphibians and reptiles in Albania. HAS was founded in 2001 from a group of biologist and ever since has grown in membership not only in biology and ecology but in other disciplines as law and economics, too. HAS’s budget is based solely on income from projects and donations.
Our three main programmes – research, education and conservation – provide a framework for executing projects aimed at furthering the understanding of the biology and ecology of the amphibians and reptiles, human impact in their populations, and public participation in their conservation.
