        abstract = {Human-wildlife conflict remains a critical barrier to biodiversity conservation, particularly in regions where venomous snakes coexist with human settlements. This case study documents snake diversity, rescue interventions, and community awareness programs conducted at Dr. Harisingh Gour University, Sagar, Madhya Pradesh, India, an institution located amidst a semi-forested ecosystem. The area supports a wide range of snake species, including venomous snakes such as Daboia russelii (Russell’s Viper), Naja naja (Indian Cobra), Bungarus caeruleus (Common Krait), and Echis carinatus (Saw-scaled Viper), as well as several non-venomous species like Ptyas mucosa (Oriental Rat Snake), Fowlea piscator (Checkered Keelback), Amphiesma stolatum (Buff-striped Keelback), Python molurus (Indian Rock Python), and Lycodon aulicus (Common Wolf Snake).This study emphasizes the effectiveness of integrating snake diversity assessments, rescue operations, and community-based awareness in mitigating human-snake conflict. It further highlights how locally driven conservation efforts can reduce snake mortality, enhance human safety, and promote coexistence between people and wildlife.},
