Spreading awareness of snakebite prevention and first aid. Anti-venom and symptomatic hospital treatment are the only proven methods of treating venomous snake bites and Herp Fauna has future plans to contribute to anti-venom production in Uganda!
Snake Safety Education
Educational programs, designed to protect communities by educating about snake identification, snake bite first-aid and snake removal procedures.
Snake bite is one of the most significant health hazards to people living in rural areas of Eastern Africa. We empower local communities with the knowledge to help keep them safe from snake bite and effectively treat snake bites, when they do occur.
