How Australia became a 'paradise' for crocodiles. After almost disappearing in the 1970s, these large reptiles have made a comeback in the rivers of the far north of the country.
A permitted harvest of wild eggs has been implemented in the Northern Territory. Landowners, many of them Aboriginal, are paid for wild eggs collected on their land for breeding farms, which supply the leather industry. Some 70,000 eggs and 1,400 crocodiles can be collected from the wild each year.
