ACES American Crocodile Education Sanctuary

         Welcome! Thank you for wishing to be a part of ACES's vigorous concerted movement to save Crocodilians in Belize. Whether you're an active member, a donor or just enjoy our stories and photos, your part plays a significant role in ACES's efforts. The more people we get talking about Crocodilian Conservation, the greater the number of people who become aware that these magnificent modern day dinosaurs, one of the World's oldest living creatures and remaining unchanged in form for thousands of years, are globally becoming in danger of extinction. Worldwide there are only an estimated 10,000 to 20,000 American Crocodiles left. With the ever increasing developement of shores, mangroves, estuaries and rivers, viable habitat for nesting crocodiles is diminishing. While they are not cute and cuddle like the polar bears are to most people, those of us who love their crooked, snarley-toothed smiles wish to share with you their admirable roles in the World's ecosystems, their uncanny intelligence, and their incredible individuality that truly makes them endearing.
