Algeria is situated at the crossroads between Europe and Africa. The northern part of the country is listed as an area of high biodiversity. Currently, the ecosystems (rivers, lakes, deserts, forests etc.) and the species are under more pressure than ever. The impact of humans is significant and many factors constitute a strong threat to this fauna, especially reptiles, which are the most vulnerable because of their low mobility. Thus, pollution, the drying up of wetlands and their conversion to agriculture have clearly affected the existence of many species. The herpetofauna of Algeria is one of the most diversified in the Mediterranean Basin, consisting of 104 species of which 16.98% are endemic. We suppose that the present list of reptilian fauna provided in this paper is not exhaustive and it is expected to include more species given the lack of research on reptiles in Algeria and its large area.
Our dataset contains information on reptile occurrences in Algeria. The dataset is based on original research by the staff of the Laboratory of Environmental Sciences and Agroecology of Chadli Bendjedid University in Algeria. The conservation status of all recorded species is given.
阿尔及利亚位于欧洲和非洲的交界处。该国北部被列为生物多样性高度丰富的地区。目前，生态系统（河流、湖泊、沙漠、森林等）和物种面临着前所未有的压力。人类的影响巨大，许多因素对这种动物群，尤其是爬行动物构成了严重威胁，因为它们行动能力低，最为脆弱。因此，污染、湿地干涸及其转为农业用地显然影响了许多物种的生存。阿尔及利亚的爬行动物区系是地中海盆地最多样化的之一，由104种组成，其中16.98%为特有种。我们认为本文提供的当前爬行动物区系列表并不详尽，鉴于阿尔及利亚对爬行动物缺乏研究且其面积广大，预计还会有更多物种被发现。
我们的数据集包含阿尔及利亚爬行动物出现情况的信息。该数据集基于阿尔及利亚沙德利·本杰迪德大学环境科学与农业生态学实验室工作人员的原始研究。给出了所有记录物种的保护状况。
