Increases in global trade and travel are causing animal and plant species to be more frequently introduced to regions of the world where they do not naturally occur. In these new regions, these species are often referred to as "alien species." The process through which they are introduced is known as a "biological invasion." Much research has been carried out to identify the biodiversity impacts of biological invasions—these are impacts that affect the survival of native species.

Travelling is an interesting hobby that takes people to unexplored places. Some places which are adventurous, dangerous and give people an edge. As per the latest global biodiversity data and recent research from the Reptile Database and wildlife studies published up to 2024–2025, the world is home to over 4,100 known snake species. But new species are still being discovered in regions like the Amazon and South Asia. Snakes are elusive, exciting and attract offbeat travellers to their abodes. One thing explorers must know is that most snakebites occur when humans try to handle snakes. So, it is important to know a few things:What to do in an emergencyStay calm immobilise the affected limbDo NOT cut, suck, or apply random ointmentSeek medical help, immediately On this note, let’s have a look at 10 countries with the highest snake populations and what travellers should know before visiting them.
