ADVOCATES FOR SNAKE PRESERVATION
EIN 46-5587063 · Wildlife Preservation & Protection (D30)
What they do
Advocates for Snake Preservation is Committed to Changing How People View and Treat Snakes. 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 Theyre 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.

Money made simple

- What will my money do? Ask exactly what your gift will pay for.
- Is this really the charity? Give only through its official website or confirmed phone number.
Bottom line: Do not decide from a name, mission statement, or tax status alone. Look at where the money went, then ask what changed, who was helped, and what your gift will do. YouCanGiveBack does not endorse or grade organizations.
