🐍 “Let’s stop the killing of snakes.” – Arojinle, Researcher, Broadcast Journalist, and Wild Africa ambassador, shares this important message for #WorldSnakeDay today. Snakes are among the most misunderstood animals on the planet. Let’s debunk some common myths 👇 ❌ MYTH: “All snakes are venomous and dangerous.” ✅ FACT: Only 7% of African snake species are dangerously venomous to humans. ❌ MYTH: “Snakes attack humans unprovoked.” ✅ FACT: They are shy by nature and not inherently aggressive. Snakes usually avoid humans and only strike when they feel threatened. ❌ MYTH: “They serve no purpose.” ✅ FACT: Snakes help control rodent populations, serve as prey for other animals, support biodiversity, and play an essential role in healthy ecosystems. Snake populations are declining due to fear-based killing, habitat loss, and poaching. On #WorldSnakeDay, let’s remember Arojinle’s call to stop the killing of snakes and give them some space because protecting nature protects us all. 🐍💚 #WildAfrica #WorldSnakeDay #Arojinle #SnakeConservation
