Throughout the month of January 2012, a team of local and international volunteers will be attempting to survey the iguanas around Cayman Brac.

The Big Brac Iguana count will take place JAN-FEB 2012.

This fund has been established by the National Trust for the Cayman Islands to purchase nesting habitat for the Sister Islands Rock Iguana (Cyclura nubila caymanensis) on Little Cayman.

This free event is sponsored by Exo Terra in conjunction with the National Reptile Breeders Expo, which is being held at the Ocean Center in Daytona Beach, Florida.

As reported by authorities recently in local media, a young international volunteer with the Blue Iguana Recovery Programme passed away suddenly last Friday.

The story of the Blue Iguana is one of the most uplifting environmental success stories in the world. An iconic species that was bordering on extinction in the wild was brought back from the brink.
