Snakes are the significant natural resource in this agricultural nation like Nepal. Rodents, which compete with man and also carry potentially lethal disease, comprise the bulk of the diet of many snakes. Besides, they also serve as an important agent in the natural food chain, especially many large bird and mammals feed on them. The overall danger from snake is extremely low compared to the other hazards of modern day. All Nepalese snakes must be protected due to their rareness, economic importance, religious sentiments, and ecological, biological, traditional, educational, scientific and even inspirational values. Then snakes are directly or indirectly threatened due to habitat loss, over exploitation, superstitions, commercial trade and ignorance. Thus, a great long term conservation strategy is urgently felt in order to check the negative impacts. Formal as well as non-formal education throughout the country is necessary so that people can realize and appreciate snakes as natural resources.
