Spearheading collaborative crocodile conservation work in Jamaica. From being part of Jamaica's cultural heritage to keeping the wetlands healthy, our key mission is to promote the safe coexistence between people and crocodiles.
#SaveCrocsJA ๐ฏ๐ฒ
The Jamaica Crocodile Research, Outreach & Conservation Initiative (JamCROC) is a conservation project which spearheads research, outreach and capacity building through wildlife training and community engagement. What first started out as an Instagram page back in 2018 to bring more awareness to crocodiles in Jamaica, now drives collaborative crocodile conservation work island-wide with the support of local and international funding.
The American crocodile (Crocodylus acutus) is Jamaica's largest native reptile and faces numerous threats, including illegal hunting, habitat loss, illegal capture and possession. Although typically shy and docile, misconceptions about the species' behaviour have fueled fear and negative human-crocodile interactions. Crocodiles are vital to Jamaica's wetland ecosystems and through our work, we are changing how Jamaicans see and live alongside these incredible animals.
100% of proceeds support environmental wardens and community groups recovering from Hurricane Melissa.

Crocodiles are protected under the Wild Life Protection Act (WLPA), but face numerous threats:
Penalty: max fine J$3,000,000 or up to three years in prison.
The first-ever island-wide crocodile survey was completed in 2022, and this now guides future conservation priorities.
Many Environmental Wardens were affected by Hurricane Melissa. Donations will help to restore their capacity to monitor and protect wildlife and support their communities. We have a long road to recovery and your support goes a long way. Thank you for your support!
