Abstract
In Latin America crocodilians are being poached and smuggled in thousands every year for their skins, and their future is bleak. Dr Medem, who is Colombia's foremost conservationist and reptile specialist, believes that only international efforts can save the caimans and crocodiles and that first Colombia must be persuaded to join the CITES Convention.Keywords
