2024臺灣陸域爬行類紅皮書名錄

地球正面臨第六次生物大滅絕，想要減緩甚至扭轉生物受到的生存威脅，在人力資源和經費
有限下，制定保育行動的優先性有其必需性。為此定期依分類學、受脅情況和族群研究評估各類
物種滅絕風險就至關重要。本報告為臺灣第2 次依據國際自然保育聯盟(International Union for
Conservation of Nature, IUCN) 建議類別與標準對所有臺灣陸域爬行類動物進行國家陸域爬行類紅
皮書名錄評估。本次報告中納入評估候選的陸域爬行類共有104 種，其中11 種外來入侵種被評定
為不適用(Not Applicable) 於區域評估，2 種未做評估(Not Evaluated) 並刪除1 種無效種，總計
共有90 種陸域爬行類進入評估流程。在臺灣國家受脅(Nationally Threatened) 爬行類中，有4 種
屬於國家極危(Nationally Critical) 類別，3 種為國家瀕危(Nationally Endangered) 類別，以及1 種
國家易危(Nationally Vulnerable) 類別，以上共8 種受脅物種，占本次所有進入評估爬行類種數的
8.9%。其餘82 種爬行類中，9 種屬於國家接近受脅(Nationally Near-threatened) 類別，67 種屬
於國家暫無危機(Nationally Least Concern) 類別，6 種資料缺乏(Data Deficient)。本報告相較於
2017 年的臺灣陸域爬行類紅皮書名錄新增了中國小頭蛇、龜山壁虎與梅氏壁虎，但在此次評估皆
歸類於資料缺乏。23 種原屬於資料不足類別，本次已重新評定於其他紅皮書類別中。因獲得新文
獻和資料重新詮釋，有4 種滅絕風險提高而提升其紅皮書類別，金龜則因臺灣本島近百年來的族群
與記錄確定非原生種，屬於外來引入和再消失，因而降低其滅絕風險為國家瀕危。未來仍需定期檢
視最新研究報告與各方資料，以了解紅皮書類別的變動，是因不同時期所蒐集到生態背景資訊不同
所致，或是物種真實受脅狀態改變的結果。

Earth is currently facing the sixth mass extinction, and it is necessary to determine the priority of
conservation efforts under human resource and funding limitations to delay or even reverse threats to species
survival. Therefore, it is vital to periodically evaluate the extinction risk of various species based on taxonomy,
threat status, and population studies. This is Taiwan's second national evaluation of its terrestrial reptiles'
red list, based on the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) recommended categories and
standards. A total of 104 candidate terrestrial reptiles were included for evaluation in this report, of which 11
invasive alien species were classified as not applicable for regional evaluation, 2 species were not evaluated,
and 1 invalid species was removed. A total of 90 terrestrial reptile species were included in the evaluation
process. Among nationally threatened reptile species in Taiwan, four were nationally critical endangered,
three were nationally endangered, and one was nationally vulnerable. There were eight threatened species,
accounting for 8.9% of all reptile species included in this evaluation. Of the remaining 82 reptile species, 9 were
nationally near-threatened, 67 were of nationally least concern, and data was deficient for 6 species. Compared
with the 2017 Red List of Terrestrial Reptiles of Taiwan, the Chinese kukri snake, Guishan's gecko, and Mell’s
gecko were added in this report but were classified as data deficient. In total, 23 species were originally
classified as data deficient but were re-evaluated to be in other Red List categories. Due to the acquisition of
new literature and re-interpretation of data, the extinction risk of four species was increased, and their Red List
category changed. As the Chinese pond turtle population and record in mainland Taiwan was confirmed as a
non-native species and is considered an alien introduction and disappearing, its extinction risk was decreased
to nationally endangered. Periodic inspections of the latest study reports and various data sources are required
to understand whether changes in Red List categories were caused by differences in background ecological
data collected at different times or actual changes in the threat status of the species
