Save The Snakes

To increase worldwide snake conservation efforts, Save The Snakes was founded in 2017 to protect threatened snake populations and reduce direct conflicts between humans and snakes by implementing mitigation strategies which will lead to peaceful coexistence. Save The Snakes works with a community of organizations, companies, individuals, and donors who help us promote, implement, and sustain snake conservation projects around the world. Together we work globally to promote our mission and foster support for snake conservation. To date Save The Snakes has fueled the growth of 29 snake conservation projects in 18 countries. In 2021, Save The Snakes founded the Snake Conservation Center (SCC) in Sacramento, California. The SCC acts as a foundation from which to conduct our work and better serve our worldwide network of Conservation Partners.
