The government is proposing to
de-list the Siamese crocodile as a highly endangered species in a bid to help
crocodile farmers reach new markets.
Because the Siamese crocodile
is listed as an Appendix I animal, which means it is a threatened species under
the international wildlife protection treaty CITES, or the Convention on
International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora, it is banned
from export. And the government would attempt to list the reptile under
Appendix II, making it possible for farmers to export them.
