Abstract
The Saltwater crocodile (Crocodylus porosus Schneider, 1801), population in India has been relatively stable. They are listed as a Schedule I species in the Wildlife Protection Act of India, which provides them with legal protection. However, several natural and anthropogenic factors are cumulatively putting significant challenges towards the successful conservation of the various populations and sub-populations of the Saltwater crocodiles in their natural habitats across India. Hence, it is important to understand the factors impacting their population decline and identifying the strategies and policies necessary for successful long term conservation of this majestic reptilian species across their natural habitats in India. The current study makes a multi perspective introspection of the successful conservation efforts of the Indian Saltwater crocodile.
