CITES NDF Studies On Nile Crocodile (Crocodylus Niloticus): The Status Of And Trade In The Nile Crocodile In Kenya,
Threat to Nile crocodile in Kenya include loss of its habitat as a result of human population encroachment, erosion and loss of nesting areas and riparian habitats as rivers change their courses due to land degradation upstream, persecution as a result of human-wildlife conflict and in a limited way egg collection for ranching operations for commercial trade. During drought in some of the arid and semi-arid land, people and crocodiles increasingly come into contact within the rivers/lakes that are sources of water and fish thus causing resource use conflicts. Results of such conflicts are normally human and livestock deaths caused by the crocodiles and or persecution of the crocodiles by human beings.
