Abstract: The survival of Nile crocodiles in both protected areas and communal areas has been associated with an increasingly uncertainty due to a combination of natural and anthropogenic threats. In this regard sustainable conservation methods are highly recommended in as far as Human and Crocodile Conflicts HCC are concerned. Anthropogenic activities are viewed as potential threat to crocodile survival and some people in turn see crocodiles as dangerous problem animals to their activities. The traditional HCC resolutions have been blamed for increasing attacks on humans and livestock resulting in decreased local support for conservation initiatives hence the need to have satisfactory and effective HCC resolution. The review pointed out that little work has been done on the sustainable management of Nile crocodiles especially for the benefit of those who bear the costs of living with them. The review investigated the main causes of the HCC and identified sustainable conservation strategies which enhance the well-being of humans and Nile crocodile. The paper explores sustainable HCC resolution which can be implemented by Wildlife Managers and communities. The study made several recommendations to conservationist and respective authorities on HCC conflict mitigation.
