The Orianne Society works to conserve imperiled reptiles and amphibians using science, applied conservation and education.  

Reptiles and amphibians have an incredible value.  They are an integral part of our ecosystems, playing their part in keeping these systems functioning.  Their physiology holds many clues to important medical advances.  Their mystique has played important roles in our arts and culture.  Reptiles and amphibians are key players in the world we live in.  

In a world of diminishing habitats, they suffer from the same effects of environmental degradation as other animals, but with the added burden of being targets – targets of persecution, of antipathy.  They don’t get the same attention as cuter animals we are asked to save, yet healthy ecosystems depend on these animals too.  Reptiles and amphibians are often the bellwethers of habitat health.  To see these species in the wild is to see a healthy, functioning landscape.

We seek to achieve our goals with the following 5 core beliefs in mind:

The key to effective civic engagement and community power is understanding, respecting and supporting local infrastructure.

BLACK VOTERS MATTER not only on election day, but on the 364 days between election days as well. This means we must support individuals and organizations that are striving to obtain social justice throughout the year.

BLACK VOTERS MATTER *everywhere*, including rural counties and smaller cities/towns that are often ignored by candidates, elected officials, political parties and the media.

In order for Black voters to matter, we must utilize authentic messaging which speaks to our issues, connects with our hopes and affirms our humanity.

The leadership, talent and commitment demonstrated by Black women in particular must receive recognition and, more importantly, *investment* in order to flourish and multiply.
