“By far the best solution, We’ve had snakes in our campus, we tried everything possible but nothing worked, we were concerned for the safety of our staff , KCRE’s VRM programme not only helped reduces snake movement in the campus but also helped us identify different species and taught us how to co-exist safely with these original residents of the land”SHIBU JOSEPHVice President – Health Safety Environment

Are you worried about snakes in your campus? Do you see snakes being killed in your office or community? 

An Initiative to increase awareness on reptiles and reduce human-animal conflict in urban and semi-urban areas  with snakes without chemical intervention. A pioneering initiative by Kalinga Centre for Rainforest Ecology (KCRE). This program is a practical implementation of lessons learned from over two decades of experience in snake rescues and human-animal conflicts with snakes.

PS: Please note we do not operate as pest controllers. We believe people can and need to learn to co-exist with urban wildlife. Our aim is to create awareness and show the way to appreciate life around them

We will conduct regular follow-ups through maintenance checks, drills and close interactions with residential communities to help foster a responsible attitude towards our environment and urban wildlife. Guided and monitored by experts at all stages, this program is a collective effort of the scientific team backing it and the residential community.
