Strengthening Community Awareness for Snake Conservation Across Nepal

Strengthening Community Awareness for Snake Conservation Across Nepal

Since its establishment in 2073 B.S., the Snake Conservation Society Nepal (SCSN) has been actively engaged in raising awareness about the ecological and cultural importance of snakes across the country. Our team has been continuously working on education and outreach activities to reduce fear, dispel common myths, and promote coexistence between people and snakes, as local people are the most encountered group with the snakes.

Through school-based sessions, community meetings, awareness camps, radio broadcasts, and educational social media content, we have reached thousands of individuals. These programs are designed to communicate the vital ecological roles snakes play, such as maintaining balance in local ecosystems by controlling rodent populations, as well as their religious and cultural significance in Nepalese society.

By focusing on high-risk and high-interaction groups like farmers, students, women, and rural communities, our campaigns aim to change attitudes and encourage safe, informed behavior during snake encounters. All outreach is delivered in locally relevant formats and languages, ensuring accessibility and impact. As part of our long-term vision, we are now working to expand these awareness efforts to additional districts, with the goal of building a more snake-friendly and conservation-minded society across Nepal.
