14 | Melissa Amarello – Using Social Interactions of Snakes to Achieve Conservation

Melissa Amarello is the Executive Director of Advocates for Snake
Preservation (ASP). Tune in to hear about her research on social
interactions in snakes, ranging from how snakes care for their
offspring to who snakes are “friends” with. ASP uses these types of
studies on snake behavior to implement education programs geared to
changing the public’s perception of snakes. Melissa also discusses
how ASP works in the advocacy arena using their work on Rattlesnake
Roundups as an example. Check out ASP’s website at www.snakes.ngo.
