an outline for implementing conservation strategies (
Greene 1994,
Sutherland 1997). Since 1990, there has been
an increase in surveys of Brazilian snakes, with information about richness and natural history published for different biomes, such as Amazonia (Martins and Oliveira 1998,
Bernarde and Abe 2006), Southeast Atlantic Forest (Marques and Sazima 2004,
Pontes et al 2009), Northeast Atlantic Forest (
França et al 2012,
Dias and Rocha 2014,
Marques et al 2016,
Roberto et al 2017), Caatinga (
Vitt and Vangilder 1983,
Mesquita et al 2013), Cerrado (
França et al 2008,
França and Braz 2013), Pantanal (
Strussmann and Sazima 1993, Strüssmann et al 2011), and Pampas grasslands (Winck et al 2007). However, some sites and environments are still poorly known, such as coastal restingas and mangroves.…”
