60 critically endangered Siamese crocodiles hatch in Cambodia's Cardamom National Park, marking the largest number of nests in 20 years.

60 Siamese crocodiles, a critically endangered species, hatched in Cambodia's Cardamom National Park, marking the largest number of nests discovered in over 20 years. The Siamese crocodile population faced a severe decline, but conservation efforts by Fauna & Flora International and local officials have led to the release of 196 crocodiles back into the wild since 2012. The recent hatching and nests found in new areas indicate natural breeding and a promising path for the species' recovery.
