A mapping exercise for snakes in Uttarakhand, including a component on king cobras, is underway in the Himalayan-foothill state to enable a safer snake-human co-existence. The Uttarakhand forest department is undertaking the mapping exercise as part of its community-based human-snake conflict mitigation project in the Kumaon Himalayas where there is a need to enhance the capacities of local communities in proper rescue techniques.
Uttarakhand has both plains and hilly areas. It is home to more than 30 species of snakes and most of them are non-venomous. But ample forest cover makes the state an ideal place for four of the most venomous snake species – common cobra, common krait, Russell’s viper and king cobra to reside in. Snakes encounter humans mostly during summer and monsoon months. According to the project document, snakebite death cases are “not uncommon” in the region.
