<\/span><\/h3>\nGreen Iguanas are listed as “Least Concern” on the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List. However, locally, they face threats such as habitat loss due to deforestation, hunting for their meat and skin, and capture for the pet trade. Conservation measures, including protected areas and regulations on international trade, are in place to ensure their sustainable protection.<\/p>\n
Red Iguanas, specifically the species native to certain Caribbean islands, face different conservation statuses. For example, the Bonaire Iguana is listed as “Critically Endangered,” highlighting the urgent need for conservation efforts to protect its remaining population. Other subspecies, such as the Aruba and Curaçao Iguanas, are considered “Vulnerable” due to habitat loss, predation by introduced species, and illegal capture for the pet trade. These red iguana populations require focused conservation action to secure their survival.<\/p>\n
