Snake Awareness
Know snakes. Fear less. Save lives.
Most snakes in Bangladesh are not dangerous to people. Learning the difference protects both families and wildlife.

About 3SA
Protecting people and snakes, together.
The Society for Snake & Snakebite Awareness (3SA) is a volunteer-driven initiative in Bangladesh working for the well-being of both people and snakes.
We take snake facts, safe rescue and snakebite first aid to homes, schools, villages and health complexes, so that communities can coexist safely with these misunderstood creatures, and snakebite victims get the right treatment in time.

Our Mission & Goals
Harmonious living between humans and snakes.
At the Society for Snake & Snakebite Awareness, our mission is driven by a profound commitment to the well-being of both humans and the serpentine members of our natural world. Our primary goal is to raise snakebite awareness, empowering communities with knowledge to coexist safely with these misunderstood creatures. We firmly believe that snakes are an integral part of our ecosystem and deserve respect and protection. Our work extends beyond awareness, encompassing support for snakebite victims and their families, as well as a dedication to the preservation of snake habitats.
Our mission includes advocating for peaceful coexistence, humane practices in addressing human-snake conflicts, and nature conservation. As a non-political, secular, and non-profit initiative guided by Deep Ecology principles, we work toward harmonious living between humans and snakes, while safeguarding our ecosystems.
