Endangered St. Lucia Iguana
Due to their low numbers and restricted geographic area, the Saint Lucia iguana is considered as being critically endangered, meaning “at extremely high risk of extinction in the wild.” Now restricted to an area in the North East of the island, threats such as habitat loss, introduced predators (cats, dogs, rats, mongoose), introduced competitors, and loss of genetic integrity, have made survival of Saint Lucia iguana a primary conservation concern for the Saint Lucia Forestry Department (SLFD) who have formed a partnership with UK-based Durrell Wildlife Conservation Trust (Durrell) to work on the recovery of this unique population.
