6. Action Plan

6.1. Things I can do: Not only myself, but everyone else should stop trying to kill snakes when they see it (as for fear of the animal). They should stop running over snakes while they cross the road.

6.2. Things the Government can do: The government should reduce "clean farming" practices because it destroys the habitat of a Blue Racer.

6.3. Things the NGO's can do: They should write letters or try to convince people to not harm the Blue Racer (and other animals) or destroy its habitat. eg: RTMS wrote letters trying to save the wetlands.
