Crocodiles are important components of African fresh water ecosystems. While an important threat to human life, they play an essential role in water system function as a top predator and key stone species. Children in our educational program visit the Crocodile Farm in Kazungula with our Teacher Ms Moore and learn about the important role of crocodiles. These species generally are only feared. Managing this human-wildlife interface requires that we understand how to stay safe and why these species are important and deserve our protection.
