Update from the Viper Specialist Group

In 2010, under the direction of Dr. Chris Jenkins, The Orianne Society teamed with the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) to form The Viper Specialist Group (VSG) – a group of viper specialists from around the world, to serve as a global voice for implementing viper conservation. At the 2012 World Congress of Herpetology in Vancouver, Canada, the VSG met for their first in-person meeting to discuss things such as the structure of the group, to determine VSG regions, the state of the viper by regions, and to begin discussing the appointment of regional coordinators.
