Over 50 crocs rescued in 3 months

The recent heavy rains in Gujarat have led to a significant rise in crocodile sightings across the state, prompting intensified rescue efforts by Wildlife SOS-Gujarat Society for Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (GSPCA) team in collaboration with the Gujarat Forest Department.

To date, approximately 50 mugger crocodiles have been rescued by the Gujarat Forest Department along with other organisations within the state in the past three months.

The onset of the monsoon season has created challenging conditions for local wildlife, particularly for reptiles such as crocodiles, whose natural habitats have been inundated. As a result, these reptiles have ventured into urban areas leading to increased rescue activities.
