🐍📚🌿 A Workshop on Snake Identification at Aliya Resort & Spa!

We`re thrilled to share glimpses from our recent workshop on Snake Identification, held at Aliya Resort & Spa by Thema Collection. Our main intention behind this initiative was to educate and empower the hotel associates on the diverse snake species found in Sri Lanka, including methods for snake identification, distinguishing between venomous and non-venomous snakes, and crucial steps to take in case of a snake bite.

The workshop not only focused on enhancing knowledge but also emphasized the importance of preserving these incredible creatures. By educating people, we aim to reduce misunderstandings about snakes and prevent them from being unnecessarily harmed or killed.

Check out these moments from our enlightening workshop, where learning meets conservation! 🌿📚🐍
