In Nepal, every year hundreds of people die from snakebite. Unfortunately, most people frequently kill snakes when encountered. We conduct research programs on this charismatic species to understand its distribution, habitat and natural history, as well as continued conservation education, community outreach and capacity building programs to protect the habitat and Save The King.

We collaborate with the Nepali Theatre with the aims to conduct the awareness program regarding snakes, human-snake conflict mitigations and snake conservation in Nepal. We also collaborate with the hospitals that provide us museum specimens of snakes for educational purposes. We display museum specimens and different educational materials in our stall. Whenever we got a rescue call and rescue the snake, we show some of the rescued snakes to the audiences/visitors before releasing them into the natural habitats. During the drama show for different schools, we also conduct informative classes inside the hall to educate students and teachers. We distribute our educational materials to the audiences/visitors. When audiences also show interest to learn the snake handling methods, we show them non-venomous snake handling methods as well. This is probably for the first of its kind in Nepal that the audiences not only get good time to enjoy the drama but also get opportunities to see live snakes and learn to handle them (non-venomous snakes only).

Wildlife/Biodiversity Conservation

Snakes can be found in a variety of habitats and play very important role in ecosystem and environment just like other wildlife fauna. Snakes play a key role in the food chain acting as predators and as prey too. Without snakes, the numbers of prey species would increase uncontrollably and the predators that eat snakes would struggle for food. The snakes have become threatened due to many reasons and habitat loss/destruction is one of them. Maintaining a biodiversity is important to all the creatures on the earth and snakes are also a part of this biodiversity which play a significant role that helps to balance the natural ecosystem.

Rescue and Relocation of Snakes

Rescue and Relocation of Snakes
We rescue snakes only if needed, i.e., mostly when it's inside the house or in the premises of the house and relocate to its nearby natural habitats in the presence of forest officials. Our team members have rescued hundreds of snakes including venomous and non-venomous from different districts of Nepal. Cobras, King Cobras, Kraits, Russell's Vipers and Pit Vipers among venomous snakes whereas Pythons, Trinket Snakes, Rat Snakes, Water Snakes and many others among non-venomous snakes. During these rescue and relocation work, we not only distribute educational materials like brochures and posters to the locals but also conduct a "Spot Education" by telling them about rescued snake's basic information, their behavior and also handling methods (in case of non-venomous snakes only).
