What are people doing to control the burmese python population?

To control the Burmese python population, particularly in Florida, wildlife management officials have implemented measures such as organized hunts and public awareness campaigns to encourage hunting. Additionally, they have established programs that incentivize hunters and citizens to report sightings or capture pythons, often offering rewards for removing these invasive snakes. Research and monitoring efforts are also underway to better understand their impact on local ecosystems and improve control strategies.
