Terra Natura Benidorm Joins Global Mission to Save the Critically Endangered Siamese Crocodile

Global Experts Unite for Crocodile Conservation

The congress is organized by the Crocodile Specialist Group of the Species Survival Commission of the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN). This year's edition marks a significant milestone as it is the first time the event has been hosted in North Africa, with Crocoparc serving as the local host organization.

Under the theme "Crocodilians in an Anthropized World: Conservation, Challenges and Solutions," the congress explores the impact of human activity on crocodilian habitats and examines innovative strategies to ensure the long-term survival of these remarkable reptiles.

Over four days, nearly one hundred presentations are being delivered, covering topics such as species conservation status, reintroduction projects, veterinary medicine, toxicology, taxonomy, captive management, and the complex relationship between humans and crocodilians.
