Our mission: To use science, education, and advocacy to promote compassionate conservation and coexistence with snakes. As important predators and prey, snakes are an essential part of a vibrant, functioning planet, but negative attitudes about snakes may be the biggest barrier to their conservation. We provide solutions to human-snake conflicts that sometimes end badly for people and often prove fatal for snakes. We make snakes more familiar and less scary by busting myths and misinformation, illustrating lesser-known and appealing behaviors like parental care, and sharing stories of individual snakes to show what they're really like. Often this information is enough for people to welcome their snake neighbors and appreciate, rather than fear, their encounters. But we also recommend yard and human behavior modifications to reduce conflicts and make coexistence with venomous snakes safer. Living with Snakes: The foundation of our work is to teach about snake natural history, behavior, and how to safely coexist with them. We spoke with about 1000 folks in rural Arizona and New Mexico and more than 127,000 people visited our websites and viewed our YouTube videos this year. 0 38093 Stop Snake Slaughter at Rattlesnake Roundups: Videos covering this campaign have been viewed more than 37 million times.
