Thu 19 Oct 2017, 6-7 pm. Presentation by Michelle Hoffman, Curator of Reptiles and Amphibians, Central Florida Zoo's Orianne Center for Indigo Conservation.
The Eastern Indigo Snake was listed as a Threatened species in 1978 under the Endangered Species Act of 1973. This species has been experiencing decline throughout their range due to habitat loss and fragmentation. Animal professionals, academics and government organizations were able to team up to begin reintroducing the Eastern Indigo Snake back into areas where they have been completely extirpated.
The Eastern Indigo Snake repatriation project is a complex combined effort to bring a critical species back into the environment. The Central Florida Zoo's Orianne Center for Indigo Conservation (OCIC) is the sole facility that breeds and raises these snakes for reintroduction.
