EcoSnake
For the past thirty-three years,
I've dedicated my life and work to the conservation, care and education about the most misunderstood and under appreciated wildlife on earth - snakes and other reptiles and amphibians. These magnificent creatures who have graced the planet since the dim beginnings of time on earth continue to teach us so much. They teach us how to understand those, with whom we occupy the earth, from their points of view. Snakes, for example, teach us that when we really learn to understand and see things from others' points of view, that they are very different from common stereotypes. So, just maybe, they can help us learn that just because something, or someone, is different from us, we don't have to laugh at them, or persecute them, or kill them, but rather realize that, in learning about them, we learn about ourselves, and mutual respect makes us all stronger. The survival of life on the earth really does depend upon our species recognizing the interdependence of all the living things we are privileged to live with.
