Snakes Alive Zambia Education & Conservation (SAZI) wants to change the traditional thinking about snakes and reptilia in general. This is because they are important in the environment in that they are efficient predators that play a strong role in the “food chain” by controlling the numbers of pests such as rodents (rats, mice, shrews, voles, etc.), amphibians such a frogs, lizards, birds, other snakes, etc.

The government has a ministry and an agency devoted to monitoring and protecting the environment. Zambia faces the profound environmental, social, and economic impacts of rapid population growth, development, and natural resource constraints. Environmental NGOs can play a crucial role in conducting research to facilitate policy development, building institutional capacity, and facilitating independent dialogue with civil society to help people live more sustainable lifestyles. There is incredible potential for Zambia to develop in a more environmentally sustainable way. The NGOs, local and international working on environmental issues in Zambia are listed here.

Disaster relief

When these food chains are disrupted by killing the creatures involved, we upset the balance of the eco- system and cause an over-abundance of some creatures and a shortage of others. Over time, this can have some serious consequences for humans.For example; most snake species include rodents as part or all of their diet. Rodents are destructive creatures, they multiply quickly and carry certain diseases that can transfer to human beings. When we upset the balance of the eco-system by eliminating snakes in a prolific manner, we allow the rodent populations and other snake food sources to explode into unmanageable proportions. Amongst other risk factors, controlling rodent populations in an unnatural way can come at significant cost and discomfort.Another aspect which highlights the need to change traditional thinking about snakes is the alarmingly high number of bites and deaths across Africa, including Zambia. Many of the bites and deaths go unrecorded. The vast majority of the ±600 species of snakes occurring across the African continent are classified as harmless or non-venomous. However, traditional thinking dictates the belief that all snakes are evil monsters and that all can and want to kill human beings. This could not be further from the truth. A sound understanding of snakes as creatures would contribute to snakebite prevention as well as decisions by snakebite victims that can save lives in the event of snakebites. Only ±15% of the total number of snake species have the potential to seriously harm or kill a human being. Many Africa-based medical professionals not only lack the medical resources to treat snakebite effectively but also lack the specialized knowledge and skill for this treatment.
