The Chinese Alligator: is farming the last hope?
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 24 April 2009
Abstract
In Oryx, October 1981, Huang Chuchien described the serious plight of China’s endemic alligator which had disappeared from most of its historic range and had been listed as a First Class Protected Animal. Earlier that year the author had joined him and other scientists to make a more complete study of the animal, to which ffPS contributed £100. The results of the study suggest that the alligator will perhaps only continue to exist in the wild for a few more years. The main hope for their conservation lies in alligator farming.
