The largest ever release of endangered Siamese crocodiles into Cambodia’s wild nature last month has raised big hope for their long-term conservation.

Pablo Sinovas, flagship species manager with Fauna & Flora International (FFI)’s Cambodia program, said conservationists from the FFI and its partners in Cambodia freed 25 Siamese crocodiles at the Chhay Reap area in the Sre Ambel River in southwestern Cambodia’s Koh Kong province earlier in March.

Siamese Crocodile, or Crocodylus siamensis, is listed on the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List as critically endangered, with roughly 250 individuals estimated to be surviving in the rivers of Cambodia.
