The Siamese crocodile is one of the world’s rarest crocodiles, largely due to decades of hunting and habitat loss. They are categorised as Critically Endangered on the IUCN Red List.
The species was rediscovered in the wild in 2000, after which Fauna & Flora and its government partners set up Cambonia’s first conservation breeding programme, which sees Siamese crocodiles bred in captivity before being released into the wild in remote sites protected by local communities.
