Saving the Endangered Central Bahamian Rock Iguana.
This striking species is threatened by invasive species and habitat loss and only remains on less than 1% of its former range in the Caribbean.
rewild and faunafloraint have partnered with the bahamasnationaltrust to create a five-year Conservation Action Plan to protect this species. Together we are committed to ensuring a future where the Central Bahamian Rock Iguana thrives once again.
Hear from Giselle Deane, senior science officer, of The Bahamas National Trust on this endemic iguana species.
#RewildTheCaribbean
The development of this action plan and the workshop was supported by Re:wild, Fauna & Flora and the Critical Ecosystem Partnership Fund under the project “Call to Action: Action Planning for Endangered Caribbean Species” (2023-2026), which aims to create enabling conditions for the recovery of priority threatened species in Antigua & Barbuda, The Bahamas, Jamaica, Saint Lucia, and St. Vincent & the Grenadines.
