Green Iguana Conservation Project Guide
Meet the Lizards: A Hands-On Conservation Experience Guide
The Green Iguana Conservation Project, located at the San Ignacio Resort Hotel in Belize, offers a unique and interactive experience for visitors of all ages. This project is dedicated to the conservation and preservation of the endangered Green Iguana, a vital part of Belize's ecosystem. It's a fantastic opportunity to learn about these fascinating creatures and contribute to their survival. The project was established to combat the declining iguana population due to habitat loss and hunting. Through education, breeding programs, and release initiatives, the project aims to increase iguana numbers and raise awareness about their importance. Visitors can learn about the iguana's life cycle, their role in the environment, and the threats they face. You'll get to see iguanas of all ages, from tiny hatchlings to mature adults. During your visit, you'll have the chance to get up close and personal with the iguanas. You can handle them (under supervision, of course!), feed them, and learn about their unique characteristics. The knowledgeable guides will share fascinating facts about iguana behavior, diet, and conservation efforts. It's a truly immersive and educational experience that will leave you with a newfound appreciation for these amazing reptiles.
