Conservationists in Utila iguana drama

The spiney-tailed Utila Iguana (Chenosaura baken) lives only in the 12km2 Mangrove Forest on the small island Utila on the Caribbean coast of Honduras, Central America. Conservation work is needed for its survival.



(1/6/2003) Utila, the smallest of the Bay Islands off the northern coast of Honduras will host the International Iguana Society (IIS) conference in March 2003, in an effort to highlight the creature’s precarious existence on the island.

“The purpose of the IIS conference planned for March, 2003 is to promote awareness of the Utila iguana conservation effort, and to promote awareness of iguana conservation in general”, said Secretary, of the International Iguana Society, AJ Gutman.
