Snake Education andAwareness
We promote education and understanding of snakes for every country where snake bites are an epidemic. The greater understanding people have of snakes, the greater the harm reduction.
The Snake Bite Program promotes education and understanding of snakes for every country where snake bites are an epidemic. Our belief is that the greater understanding populations have of the vital role snakes play in both nature and food webs, the following outcomes will occur:
• People will be less likely to try to kill snakes.
• Reduced interaction with snakes results in less snake bites.
• People will develop an appreciation of snakes
• People will understand what to do if bitten by a snake.
• Snake bite education reduces the risk that individuals will seek traditional remedies and will instead opt for antivenom treatments resulting in a greater chance of survival.
