Conservation Connection: Eastern Massasauga Rattlesnake

September 20, 2024

Conservation

The Detroit Zoological Society has been an integral part of the Eastern Massasauga Rattlesnake Species Survival Plan to establish a monitoring program for these rattlesnakes in southwest Michigan since 2009. This long-term monitoring allows scientists to determine critical ecological characteristics of the snakes and their populations, which informs conservation decisions and management plans for the species.
