Advance in the knowledge and actual conservation status of Tumbes Crocodile (Crocodylus acutus Cuvier, 1807)
The conservation status in Peru of the Tumbes Crocodile is described. This country is the southern limit of crocodile distribution and for that is catalogued as rare at this zone. This has been generating ex situ management programs to encourage its conservation. However, crocodile population have diminished and become endangered as consequence of deforestation, climatic change, the anthropogenic activities and the unknown uses it can provide.

En esta nota se describe el estado de conservación del Cocodrilo de Tumbes en Perú, donde la especie encuentra su límite sur de distribución, por lo que es catalogada como especie rara en la zona. Esto ha generado que se lleven a cabo programas de manejo ex situ para apoyar su conservación. Sin embargo el desconocimiento de los beneficios que brinda la especie, junto con la deforestación, el cambio climático y las actividades antropogénicas, han ocasionado que su población disminuya y se encuentre amenazada.
