Siamese Crocodiles
1000 individuals
The largest wild population of Siamese crocodiles occurs in Laos, where between 225-275 individuals are thought to survive in the Xe Champhone Wetlands.
Siamese crocodiles are considered Critically Endangered. Although estimates vary, no more than 1000 are thought to remain in the wild, widely scattered across a number of sites in Southeast Asia. They face many threats, including the conversion of their wetland habitat to agriculture, population fragmentation, and incidental drowning in fishing gear. Our primary goal for Siamese crocodiles is the recovery of viable populations in the range states where we work.
