Over the past one hundred years, habitat destruction and hunting have eradicated the Siamese crocodile from 99 per cent of its historical range throughout South East Asia. Only around 250 adult Siamese crocodiles remain in the wild, chiefly in the remotest highlands of Cambodia. Fauna and Flora International (FFI, http://www.fauna-flora.org/) is working with remote Cambodian villages in the south-western Cardamom Mountains to protect crocodiles by teaming human and material resources to benefit both the Siamese crocodiles and their human neighbors. The goal, simply stated, is to save the world’s rarest crocodile while improving the food security and income of impoverished Cambodians in a sustainable, culturally appropriate, and environmentally sound fashion. FFI uses a variety of techniques to accomplish this goal, including: wildlife monitoring; training of community wardens and anti-poaching patrols; improvement of agricultural practices; development of agroforestry; initiating co-operative marketing of renewable natural resources; and raising awareness of crocodile and wetland conservation benefits in local, national, and international media. When we push our barrow up Mt Buffalo we are raising money to support the role of community crocodile wardens and their associated villages. The money will be distributed by FFI.
