For #WorldLizardDay we are highlighting a gem of Tropical Discovery: The Fiji Island banded iguana! 🦎 Listed as Endangered on the IUCN Red List, the current total population is roughly estimated at just 6,000 individuals scattered across the central Fiji islands. Key threats include habitat destruction from logging, agricultural expansion, and mining, as well as invasive predators like black rats, Indian mongoose, and feral cats. As an arboreal species living high in Fiji's forest canopy, protecting their forest habitat doesn't just protect the wildlife, it protects the entire ecosystem that depends on healthy, intact rainforest to survive. 🌿 Come find them in Tropical Discovery and see why these vivid emerald and cream-banded reptiles are worth fighting for! 🦎 #Iguana #Lizard #DenverZooConservationAlliance #Fiji #EndangeredSpecies #SavingWildlifeTogether
