Lamakaan is hosting A Free Snakes Demonstration and Awareness program where the common snakes are displayed & relevant facts are shared. A light is thrown on the common myths, surrounding these misunderstood creatures. By the end of the programme there is a subconscious transformation amongst the viewers and the perception about snakes are changed, with which we achieve our mission of conservation of snakes through knowledge.

We are sure, one would agree that snakes have been a source of fascination and mystery for all of mankind, across various cultures and religions. They are the only creatures which are revered and feared, at the same time. They have their place in ancient scriptures and literature. Few say that they are evil and only mean harm, while others picturize them as god; few facts and a whole lot of fiction. For most of us, just a sight of a snake, slithering past us might send a chill wave down our spine. So, do we fear them because they are secretive and elusive? Is it that they could kill us with a venomous bite? Or is it just that we lack enough knowledge about them? No matter what the answer is, the fact is that we know very less about these misunderstood slitherers. Rightly said by Chief Dan George, "If you talk to the animals they will talk with you and you will know each other. If you do not talk to them you will not know them, and what you do not know you will fear. What one fears one destroys." The Friends of Snakes Society aims to remove the fear by spreading awareness amongst the common man with the help of this powerful tool, FOS Awareness Programme.
