SnakeSense is an independent, nonprofit organisation committed to the study and conservation of Australian snakes.

A vast array of species, including our own, are dependent upon snakes for the healthy functioning of the ecosystems which support us.  Sadly, however, snakes are perhaps one of the most misunderstood creatures on Earth, as humans struggle to bridge the gap between our view of the world, and theirs.

Driven by a passion for all wildlife, SnakeSense’s team of naturalists are dedicating time, effort and knowledge to educating the community about snakes and their crucial role in the environment.
