"THE LAST CROCODILE", a short film features the Artist’s visit to the Siamese Crocodile Breeding Facility in Cambodia. Kevin Berlin encounters the challenges of painting live crocodiles; feisty baby crocs, protective mothers guarding their nest, 115-degree temperatures, and long days eye-to-eye with an apex predator. This is the first short film introducing an exciting new Art project underway.
Siamese Crocodiles were once feared extinct in the wild until their rediscovery in 2000. Fauna & Flora International, working with the Cambodian government (CCCP - Cambodian Crocodile Conservation Program), established the country's first captive-breeding program and have released 196 crocs into the wild since 2012. These reptiles are bred in captivity due to threats from poaching and habitat loss. When old enough, they are released into protected areas within the Cardamom Mountains.
