TIES Snake Rescue Kit enables Rescuers for scientific rescue operations

Snakes, especially the FOUR venomous snakes are common in every human settlement in Kerala. Even though Kerala is considered as a conglomeration of townships with much developed housing and commercial structures, snakes are commonly reported from house premises, kitchens and even toilets. Kerala Forest Department has launched a snake rescue service, a few years back and trained 20-30 volunteers in every district, on scientific snake rescue methods. A mobile application (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ltl.kfdsr&pcampaignid=web_share) also launched to report such incidences for the community and several people are using the facility to get the service of such volunteers. However, many volunteers are devoid of snake rescue kits which are much expensive. TIES supported Kerala Forest Department for providing kits to the rescuers. This has enabled them to extent their services to more people, in time. TIES planning to provide kits to all volunteers of every districts in Kerala. Thanks to our supporters.
