Watch Our Video: A Trip Down Memory Lane
Celebrating International Blue Iguana Day.
Blue Iguana Conservation is proud to share this special conversation – A TRIP DOWN MEMORY LANE.
Fred Burton DOE, Tandora Grant SDZWA, Paul Calle WCS, Luke Harding BIC, John and Sandy Binns IRCF, and moderator-conservationist Bella Rooney.
This special event brings together the founders of the Blue Iguana Recovery Programme, now Blue Iguana Conservation, the most successful reptile recovery program in the world to reminisce about the early days of the programme. With over 1000 of these creatures now released into the wild it is easy to forget that when these pioneers began the programme there were just two dozen found in the wild. This conversation with those who were there at beginning to highlight the early challenges and successes of the program. We are so excited to let these conservationists share in their own words how they laid the foundations of the programme and brought this iconic Caymanian species back from the brink of extinction.
