The majestic Orinoco Crocodile, one of the largest crocodylian species globally, resides in the northern part of South America, particularly in Colombia and Venezuela. They inhabit diverse environments, from tropical evergreen forest rivers to piedmont streams and seasonal rivers in savannas, these ancient creatures are now critically endangered due to various threats. Looming dangers for these beautiful animals include habitat change, fragmentation, and pollution, particularly from riverside development and human occupancy.
#Goldmining and #palmoil #pollution pose a massive risk, imperiling these magnificent crocodiles. Facing an inferred reduction in population size of over 80% in three generations, primarily from historical over-hunting, urgent conservation efforts are essential to safeguard the Orinoco Crocodile from the brink of extinction. Join the cause to protect them and say no to palm oil, soy, and beef products contributing to deforestation. #Boycott4Wildlife #SaveOrinocoCrocodile #BoycottGold4Yanomami
