  abstract = {{T}he lancehead ({B}othrops lanceolatus) is a poisonous snake endemic to {M}artinique, an island in the {L}esser {A}ntilles arc. {T}oday, this snake is on the verge of extinction. {T}he recorded number of snakes killed yearly between 1970 and 2002 decreased by 97%. {D}espite the production of an antivenom in 1993, the local authorities set up a financial reward to encourage the eradication of lancehead snakes. {T}oday the local population still perceives the snake as a threat, due to its fatal venom and its fierce behaviour. {T}he case study of the lancehead in {M}artinique highlights the need to develop integrated strategies to conserve species of poisonous snakes on densely populated islands. {T}his requires innovative, cross-sectoral strategies that involve decision-makers working along with multi-disciplinary scientists. {A}pproaching the complexity of ecosystems through the socio-ecological prism implies, conversely, linking up the domains of science and technology, life and environmental sciences, and human and social sciences, through interactions based on sharing common assumptions.},
