The New Mexico Ridge-nosed rattlesnake (Crotalus willardi obscurus) is one of the rarest and most enigmatic rattlesnake species in the United States. With its limited range and threats from wildfire and climate change, this species faces significant challenges to its survival. To ensure its future, we must act now. Project Obscurus is dedicated to the recovery of this critically imperiled species. We are raising funds to support essential monitoring efforts across its range in Mexico and the U.S. These efforts are crucial for collecting the data needed to inform genetic rescue strategies, ensuring that we preserve the genetic diversity of the species and give it the best chance for long-term survival. Your donation will directly support fieldwork, data analysis, and collaborative conservation efforts that are vital to the success of Project Obscurus. Together, we can make a difference for this rare and beautiful species. Be a part of a groundbreaking conservation initiative and join Team Obscurus! Every contribution brings us one step closer to securing a future for the New Mexico Ridge-nosed rattlesnake.
