‘Race against time’: Saving the snakes and lizards of Brazil’s Cerrado by Sharon Guynup on 2 February 2021 Brazil’s Cerrado is among the world’s most biodiverse savannas, covering two million square kilometers (772,204 square miles), nearly a quarter of the country and half the size of Europe. Once thought of as a “wasteland,” scientists have counted 208 snake species, some 80 lizards, 40 worm lizards, seven turtles and four crocodile species many recently logged in the biome’s grasslands, palm-covered riverscapes, lowland forests and dry plateaus.
