Abstract
Reports on herpetofauna diversity in Kalimantan are often based on surveys within national parks. This survey aims to determine the list of herpetofauna species outside the conservation areas. The survey was conducted at the Palayo Waterfall area, Cipta Karya Village, Sungai Betung District, Bengkayang Regency, West Kalimantan, Indonesia. The survey activities were carried out on November 12-13, 2022, using the Visual Encounter Survey (VES) method with a time-constrained search along the stream of Palayo Waterfall. The result showed that 19 herpetofauna species were found, consisting of 8 amphibian species from 4 families and 11 reptile species from 6 families. Generally, the IUCN conservation status of herpetofauna species found is of the Least Concern. Only one species was categorized as Vulnerable (Meristogenys jerboa), one as Endangered (Leptolalax marmoratus) and one as Data Deficient (Limnonectes conspicillatus).
