Hide AdZoo staff were asked to help with international efforts to save the endangered reptiles from extinction. Guided by the knowledge and expertise of Chester Zoo, they have been able to further boost the success rate in breeding centres in Cambodia by more than 500%.
A spokesperson for Chester Zoo said: “More crocs are now being released into Cambodia’s Cardamom Mountains by our conservation friends Fauna & Flora - with the goal of adding another 150 to the wild population by 2025!” Watch the video above.
