Many are, but some are not endangered. Some species of crocodiles are endangered or threatened. The Chinese Alligator, for example, is considered a "critically endangered species." The American Crocodile is "threatened" in some areas of its habitat. Only within the last couple years was it taken off the endangered species list in the United States.

There are several different species of crocodile, the estuarine or salt water croc, have seen their numbers increase over the last 30 years or so due to several breeding programs. However, other species do not fare so well and numbers are reducing. Habitat loss to human beings is a large factor in this.

It depends on the species but yes, the majority of crocodile species are endangered. The only species that is currently critiqually endangered is the 'golden crocodile'. The nile crocodile used to be endangered but thanks to conservation programs their numbers have increased rapidly.

No. Actually they're culled in some areas as the ecosystem can't support their numbers. Furthermore crocodiles are farmed for meat and hide.
