About Us

Advocates for Snake Preservation (ASP) is changing how people view and treat snakes.

Why Snakes?
Long portrayed in myth and media as villains, snakes have a largely undeserved reputation as malevolent creatures. Snakes are threatened by many of the same issues that affect all wildlife (e.g., habitat loss, climate change, disease), but negative attitudes toward snakes impede conservation efforts, which require public support.

Our Work

  • We conduct research on snakes following the guiding principles of compassionate conservation.
  • We dispel myths and misinformation about snakes through our blog, presentations, and publications.
  • We identify threats to snakes, and provide resources on how WE can address those threats.
