Protecting Malabar Pythons & Reptile Diversity

Challenges Faced by Malabar Pythons and Other Reptiles

Habitat Loss

The ever-expanding human footprint and deforestation are destroying critical reptile habitats, disrupting breeding grounds and food sources.

Poaching and Illegal Wildlife Trade

Malabar pythons are sometimes targeted for their skins, used in the exotic leather trade. This illegal activity threatens their population stability.

Human-Wildlife Conflict

Fear and misunderstanding can lead to the persecution of reptiles, even those like the Malabar python that pose no direct threat to humans.
