Venezuelan biologist Carlos Alvarado works to save the critically endangered Orinoco crocodile, of which fewer than 100 remain in the wild due to poaching and hunting for food. Despite the urgency, experts like Federico Pantin express concern that efforts are insufficient, noting that only about 200 hatchlings are released annually. The team continues to research and manage the species, hoping to delay extinction while facing the challenges of habitat loss and local hunting practices.
