Description: The project targeted the conservation of the Lesser Antillean iguana through the establishment of a sub-regional recovery framework. It aimed to enhance population data, reintroduce the iguana in Anguilla, implement bio-security measures, and increase awareness. Utilising national policies, biodiversity strategies, and scientific data, it ensured sustainable management within Key Biodiversity Areas across 3 island territories. Educational programmes facilitated species differentiation for the public and officials. Conservation agencies enforced legal protections through reintroductions, habitat restoration, and awareness campaigns. Collaboration among islands maximised shared experiences and networks, garnering global interest for a sub-regional action planning workshop. This comprehensive effort, drawing upon varied expertise and experiences, significantly contributed to the species’ conservation in the region.
