The 130K per annum figure is a global death count.

This is serious, other causes of death more so, e.g:

    The Global status report on road safety 2018, launched by WHO in December 2018, highlights that the number of annual road traffic deaths has reached 1.35 million. Road traffic injuries are now the leading killer of people aged 5-29 years.
That's 10 motor vehicle deaths for every snake bite death.

It's certainly possible for both to be addressed and it's certain there are parts of the world with more snake caused deaths than road fatalities.
