"The Gap Between Snake Conservation & Human-Snake Conflict Mitigation"

Despite their unwarranted reputation, snakes are critically important animals for our world. Snakes maintain balance in the food web and therefore keep ecosystems healthy. Yet, due to increased conflict with humans, many snakes species are under threat of extinction. As human populations rapidly grow and spread into areas that wildlife depend on, conflict with snakes is becoming increasingly common. Around the world, snake populations are in decline because of habitat destruction, disease, over-harvesting, invasive species, and even climate change. These combined threats have brought some snake species ever closer to the brink of extinction.
