Crisis in the wetlands: When climate change brings crocodiles closer (videos)

Extreme weather is pushing crocodiles closer to humans. Watch how climate change is driving wildlife displacement in this powerful 2-part video story.

As the climate crisis deepens, the impacts are being felt not just by humans—but by wildlife too. This two-part video series explores the growing intersection between climate change, animal displacement, and human safety, using crocodile encounters as a striking example.

🌀 In Part 1, we investigate how extreme heat and intense rainfall are disrupting ecosystems and forcing animals like crocodiles out of their natural habitats. As rising temperatures and heavier floods reshape landscapes, these apex predators are moving into areas they wouldn’t normally inhabit, bringing them closer to people.

🏠 In Part 2, we turn to the human side of the story. Communities living near rivers, wetlands, and coastal zones are experiencing more frequent and sometimes dangerous encounters with displaced wildlife. How are they responding? What measures are being taken to protect both humans and animals?

This is a story of disruption—but also of adaptation, resilience, and coexistence in a changing climate.

📽️ Watch both videos and dive into a powerful example of the climate and displacement crisis playing out in real time.
