Gharial

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The gharial (Gavialis gangeticus) is a crocodilian of the family Gavialidae that is native to the Indian subcontinent and also called gavial and fish-eating crocodile. As the species has undergone both chronic long term and a rapid short-term declines it is listed as a Critically Endangered by IUCN.
The gharial is one of three crocodilians native to India (the other two are the Mugger crocodile and the Saltwater crocodile). It is one of the longest of all living crocodilians.

Distribution and habitat

Gharials once thrived in all the major river systems of the Indian subcontinent, spanning the rivers of its northern part from the Indus River in Pakistan across the Gangetic floodplain to the Irrawaddy River in Myanmar. Today, they are extinct in the Indus River, in the Brahmaputra of Bhutan and Bangladesh and in the Irrawaddy River.

Conservation

Gavialis gangeticus is listed on CITES Appendix I.

By 1976, the estimated total population of wild gharials in the world had declined from what is thought to have been 5,000 to 10,000 in the 1940s to less than 200, a decline of about 96%. The Indian government subsequently accorded protection under the Wildlife Protection Act of 1972.

Gharial adalah salah satu dari tiga buaya asli India (dua lainnya adalah the Mugger crocodile and the Saltwater crocodile`).

Distribusi dan habitat
Buaya pernah berkembang di semua sistem sungai utama dari anak benua India, yang mencakup sungai bagian utaranya dari Sungai Indus di Pakistan melintasi dataran banjir ke Sungai Gangga Irrawaddy di Myanmar. Hari ini, mereka punah di Sungai Indus, di Brahmaputra Bhutan dan Bangladesh serta di Sungai Irrawaddy.

konservasi
Gavialis gangeticus terdaftar di CITES Appendix I.
Pada tahun 1976, perkiraan total populasi gharials liar di dunia telah menurun dari apa yang diperkirakan 5.000 hingga 10.000 pada tahun 1940 menjadi kurang dari 200, penurunan sekitar 96%. Pemerintah India kemudian memberikan perlindungan di bawah Undang-Undang Perlindungan Satwa Liar tahun 1972.
