Fijian Iguana Conservation

Long, spindly toes and sharp claws carry Fijian iguanas

across the lush canopies of the tropical forests they call home.
These arboreal lizards spend almost their entire lives in the
treetops, only leaving to lay eggs or seek shelter during storms. With
neon green scales, sometimes accented by blue or white bands, they
blend in effortlessly with the vibrant vegetation. But even with this
impressive camouflage, Fijian iguanas can't hide from the
increasing threats to their survival.

Habitat loss and nonnative predators including feral cats, rats, and
mongooses are putting pressure on Fijian iguana populations. Today,
all subspecies are endangered, some critically so. With you as an
ally, and together with our partners, we're working to save them
through our Pacific Islands Conservation Hub

.

Your support fuels sustainable conservation solutions, as we
collaborate with partners and local communities to help Fijian iguanas
thrive. From protecting existing populations to headstarting and
reintroducing the next generation, together we can ensure these
tree-dwelling lizards have a future on the islands. Climb right up to
explore how you're making all the difference for unique island
species found nowhere else on Earth.

SWOOPING TO SAFETY

A flash of green with a splash of crimson is all you'll see of
the thick-billed parrot as it swoops down from the sky, and back into
the pine forests of northern Mexico. These skilled fliers can escape
from larger birds of prey by diving toward the ground and into the
safety of the trees.

through our Southwest Conservation Hub-including two chicks that
fledged at the San Diego Zoo Safari Park last year.
