Our mission: To use science, education, and advocacy to promote compassionate conservation and coexistence with snakes. As important predators and prey, snakes are an essential part of a vibrant, functioning planet, but negative attitudes about snakes may be the biggest barrier to their conservation. We provide solutions to human-snake conflicts that sometimes end badly for people and often prove fatal for snakes. We make snakes more familiar and less scary by busting myths and misinformation, illustrating lesser-known and appealing behaviors like parental care, and sharing stories of individual snakes to show what they're really like. Often this information is enough for people to welcome their snake neighbors and appreciate, rather than fear, their encounters. But we also recommend yard and human behavior modifications to reduce conflicts and make coexistence with venomous snakes safer. Living with Snakes: The foundation of our work is to promote coexistence with snakes. To learn about snakes and how to live with them, more than 243,000 people visited our websites and our YouTube videos were viewed more than 65,000 times this year. We spoke with about 1400 folks in rural southwest New Mexico and southeast Arizona about snake natural history, behavior, and how to safely coexist with them. 0 30651 Our campaign to stop snake slaughter at rattlesnake roundups: videos covering this campaign have been viewed more than 37 million times and this year hundreds of children sent letters to nearly 1000 residents of Sweetwater, TX asking them to urge the Sweetwater Jaycees to transform their rattlesnake roundup into a no-kill, educational festival. 0 2454 33105 Jeffrey J Smith Treasurer 10 0 0 0 Steve Marlatt Chair 1 0 0 0 Gordon Burghardt Officer 1 0 0 0 Melissa Amarello Executive Director 30 32377 0 0 Emily Taylor Secretary 1 0 0 0 Jesus Rivas Co-chair 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 NM MELISSA AMARELLO PO BOX 2752 SILVER CITY NM 88062 5759565231 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 NONE NONE 1 X 14402 28238 45385 49262 32642 169929 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 14402 28238 45385 49262 32642 169929 22570 147359 11 12 6 10 555 594 0 0 0 0 0 0 251 145 270 257 332 1255 171778 1833 0.85785 0.85035 X Schedule A, Part II, Line 10 Other Income Description: net income from sales of messagewear and stickers 2018: 251. 2019: 145. 2020: 270. 2021: 257. 2022: 332.
