The International Iguana Foundation works in partnership with a wide variety of organizations to save threatened and endangered iguana species from extinction.
By providing grant funds to iguana research and conservation, we work to restore these flagship species and their habitats and give critical support to science-based iguana recovery programs. As a non-profit organization, we generate public awareness of the important role that iguanas play in maintaining healthy ecosystems, as well as the many threats facing wild iguanas today. We also work with local communities to fund education and foster support in the areas iguanas live.

Currently, most of the 45 species in the Iguanidae family are listed as Endangered or Critically Endangered.
Yet they are often overlooked in conservation efforts. We are dedicated to ensuring that these amazing and charismatic animals, which have been a vital part of Earth’s biodiversity for hundreds of thousands of years, continue to bask, burrow, climb, disperse seeds to replenish forests, and stride across their territory well into the future.
