Membership to the Crocodile Specialist Group is ultimately determined by the Chairman, usually after recommendation by the relevant CSG Regional Chair.
The CSG maintains a broad and diverse “voluntary” membership to enable it to effectively deal with crocodilian conservation. Members are generally
individuals who are:
actively involved with crocodilian conservation, research, management, education or trade;
integrally involved in crocodilian conservation policy or law; or,
contribute funds or other resources for crocodilian conservation, management and sustainable use.
Generally speaking, most CSG members have had several years of active involvement with the CSG prior to being nominated for membership.
Members are obligated to operate within the
CSG’s Operational Principles that define the goals of the group, and the mechanisms through which these goals are
to be achieved.
You can learn more about the CSG by subscribing to the Crocodile Specialist Group
Newsletter and/or by attending the biennial working meetings of the group.
