00:00This year's winter crocodile census was completed on the 20th and 21st.
00:09Today we have collected the final data and the final result is in our hands.
00:14According to the final result, there are around 1826 crocodiles in Bitter Kanika.
00:22Last year, there were 1811 crocodiles in Bitter Kanika.
00:25This year, there are 15 crocodiles in Bitter Kanika.
00:28The number of crocodiles has increased.
00:30This year, when our orientation program was held for the census,
00:36we instructed the staff to categorize the white crocodiles.
00:47The white crocodile census has just been completed.
00:50We are compiling the white crocodile census.
00:53There is a total of 52 segments of data in it.
00:58It will take some time.
00:59We will finalize it in a day or two and give you the result.
01:04In this, we had a total of 22 teams.
01:07Crocodiles are found in 4 ranges in the division.
01:10In that area, we had 22 teams.
01:14Crocodiles are counted in the morning and night time.
01:21Crocodiles are counted in the morning and night time.
01:25Crocodiles are counted in the night time with the help of a torch light.
01:37When this project started 50 years ago,
01:41the first census was held in December 1975 and January 1976.
01:46At that time, only 96 crocodiles were seen in this area.
01:50It was a very small number and the population was not sustainable.
01:55When the Crocodile Project was taken up,
01:59we were able to achieve a stable population in the last 50 years.
02:14It has a very good impact on tourism.
02:20A special sanctuary was built for the crocodile in 1975.
02:25It has been 50 years since then.
02:29Crocodiles have helped in increasing tourism.
