Blue Iguana Recovery Program HD
Uploaded on Jan 26, 2012 (3336)
Grand Cayman's own endemic species and largest land animal, the Blue Iguana, was classified a mere 10 years ago as functionally extinct with less than ten animals left in the wild. An aggressive recovery programme is saving it from this grim prospect.
Hear from the warden how far the programme has come and how much more needs to be done to ensure that future generations of Caymanians continue to co-exist with this magnificent reptile. Discover how fragile the future of the blue iguana, now confined to a few tracts in the Eastern Districts, can become without this active human intervention.
