Enhance the recovery and viability of wild populations of Siamese crocodile in Cambodia through the release of captive-bred and confiscated animals into protected in-situ sanctuaries. Support community wardens to patrol and protect crocodile sanctuaries, so that crocodile sub-populations can thrive. Raise the profile of Siamese crocodile through news stories and social media. Inform management of Siamese crocodile sub-populations through scientific research and monitoring.

Strategic Direction: 1 Safeguard priority globally threatened species by mitigating major threats
