By engaging the youth and promoting understanding of snakes, the event aimed to combat fear, reduce human-snake conflicts, and inspire conservation-oriented behaviour. Celebrating on July 16, aligned with global observance of World Snake Day, reinforces the message of biodiversity protection and environmental responsibility.
