Les vipères sont parmi les vertébrés les plus persécutés par l'homme et 25 % des espèces de vipères évaluées sont menacées. Le VSG travaille à une meilleure compréhension et à la protection des vipères. En rassemblant une communauté internationale de biologistes et d'experts des serpents, nous visons à créer une voix forte et unie pour la conservation des vipères au lieu d'initiatives individuelles.
