A critically endangered Philippine crocodile at the @GladysPorterZoo.This is one of the most threatened crocodilian species in the world. Due to persecution from humans, development of its natural environment, and entanglement in fishing nets, there has been a reported 85%-94% decline in the population of this species within the last three generations. Today, fewer than 200 Philippine crocodiles exist in the wild.
As of 2001, the Philippine Crocodile is nationally protected by law. In the Philippines, killing this animal will result in a minimum sentence of six years in prison and/or a fine of 100,000 pesos ($2,500 USD). Thanks to legal protections, the future of the Philippine crocodile looks brighter than it did 20 years ago, but there is still a long road of conservation and protection ahead in order to keep this species alive.
