Snake Rescue and Release Project for Conflict Mitigation and Conservation

Snake Rescue and Release Project for Conflict Mitigation and Conservation

The Snake Conservation Society Nepal (SCSN) is actively involved in the safe rescue and ethical release of snakes found in conflict situations, especially in and around human settlements. Snakes are often unintentionally harmed or killed out of fear or misunderstanding when they enter homes, farms, or public areas. Our trained team responds to rescue calls from the public, local authorities, and community networks across several districts, ensuring both human safety and the well-being of the snakes.

Each rescue operation is carried out with proper species identification, careful handling protocols, and minimal stress to the animal. Once rescued, snakes are assessed and safely released into suitable natural habitats, far from human interference, following ecological guidelines and government wildlife laws and regulations.

This program not only helps to prevent snakebite every year but also plays a crucial role in building trust with local communities. Every rescue is an opportunity to educate the public, correct misinformation, and promote coexistence. Through this initiative, SCSN continues to bridge the gap between conservation science and community action, contributing meaningfully to both snake conservation and public safety in Nepal.
