The headstart facility had a unique opportunity to reach almost 900 students from across the whole British Virgin Islands (BVI). The Governor of the BVI treated the top two children from each classroom to a day tour on Anegada. All the students received a brief lecture about the island’s iguana and the measures being taken to conserve it.

During the July nest surveys we documented a nest on Middle Cay, representing the first nest found at this location. Unfortunately, the nest had been excavated and the broken eggs were on the surface. This nest was from a headstarted female. Even though the nest was unsuccessful, this is the first documented nesting attempt by a headstarted female. As a result of the annual nest survey, 22 new hatchlings were transferred to the headstart facility this October.
