Introduction
Only 60 of the 3,000 species of lizards living today attain an adult body mass greater than one kilogram. Although large lizards represent only 2% of all lizard species, they account for 60% of lizard species considered threatened or endangered. Indigenous large lizards are often the predominant vertebrates with respect to biomass in undisturbed environments (Case 1982; Iverson 1979; Dugan 1980; Pianka 1986; Phillips 1995). However, in degraded habitats, populations of these lizards may be severely depleted relative to expected carrying capacity. Biomass estimates of healthy iguana populations often exceed 20kg/ha, an order of magnitude greater than reported for mammalian herbivores. The absence or reduction of these lizards unquestionably alters the ecosystems of which they are a part.

Overview of West Indian Iguana Populations
As a group, West Indian iguanas are among the most endangered lizards in the world, probably due in large part to their exclusively insular distribution. As a result of their low metabolic rates and naturally high population densities, lizards in many mainland habitats are relatively resistant to extinction. However, the restricted ranges and small population sizes of lizards on islands render them highly susceptible to a variety of human-caused threats. Pressure to exploit undisturbed natural areas is particularly strong in the West Indies, where unutilized land is often perceived as economically undesirable (Barzetti 1993). Recolonization following local extinction on islands may be quite rare because West Indian iguanas, like most other terrestrial reptiles, are probably poor over-water dispersers.

  • Conservation genetics of endangered and threatened species.
    Molecular data are being used to identify patterns of genetic diversity among endangered and threatened species. Thus far, the target species have included endangered Chinese giant salamanders and threatened Asian Bullfrogs and North American desert tortoises and this research is important for both North Amereican and Asian interests. The applications of the analyses include reintroductions, captive propagation, and setting aside wildlife protection areas.
  • Phylogenetic relationships of rattlesnakes.
    Very little is known about the genealogical relationships of more than 30 species of rattlesnakes. Centre researchers are using DNA sequence data to unravel the evolutionary relationships of the species, and analyses will allow us to understand the evolution, ecology, and behaviour of rattlesnakes, their geographic distribution and other life attributes. These analyses may also allow for the more effective treatment of venomous snake bites.

    To Keep...
    (And miles to go before they sleep!)
    "How can we say we want to ensure the survival of a particular species if, at the same time, we allow critical habitat to be destroyed?... [A] federal law that does not adequately protect the critical habitat of an endangered species is a law of little value. Why? Simple. No habitat, no species. This is not a political argument, this is a biological fact. For 80% of all species, habitat is the critical feature of their recovery." The Hon. David Anderson, P.C., M.P.
    Minister of the Environment
    September 1999 The Liberal government has been promising to pass legislation protecting endangered species and their habitats since they were elected in 1993. The promises have been repeated in international agreements, throne speeches and by successive Environment Ministers. However, the proposed Species at Risk Act (SARA) will not satisfy any of these promises since the objective - to ensure the protection and recovery of endangered species and their habitats - will not be met by this bill. SARA allows for political intervention at every major stage of conservation including habitat protection and also listing, prohibitions, recovery planning and enforcement.
    "In failing to produce a bill that is tough enough to save the... species currently at risk, the minister - but more crucially, the prime minister - has also failed to repair the Liberals' dismal and well-deserved reputation as environmental primitives."

    Night Lizards
    by Richard Rosevear
    The 16 species (in 3 genera) of night lizards, family Xantusiidae , comprise one of the few families of lizards that are restricted to the Western Hemisphere. They inhabit rocky areas of tropical lowlands in Central America and arid and semi-arid regions of the southwestern United States, Mexico, and Cuba. Once thought to be related to geckos because of their similar appearance, night lizards are now believed to be closer akin to teiids and skinks. They are typically small, nocturnal creatures with fused eyelids and vertical pupils. The skin is soft with small, granular scales on the dorsum and large, rectangular scales on the ventrum. Limbs are of normal size with 5 toes and there is a gular fold and a fold of skin on each side of the body. Coloration is usually drab, ranging from dull gray to brown. Night lizards are insectivorous, although the island night lizard, Xantusia (Klauberina) riversiana , feeds heavily on flowers and seeds. Enemies are numerous: owls, small carnivores, large lizards, and large invertebrates. Lyre snakes, Trimorphodon biscutatus , and night snakes, Hypsiglena torquata , are perhaps the night lizards' most formidable predators because these rear-fanged colubrids possess venom that is very effective for subduing small mammals and reptiles.

    Big Lizard Records: an interview with Ryan Kinder Ryan Kinder is the Big Lizard behind Big Lizard Records , a Vegas-based record label. He also puts on and promotes music shows. Q: What does Big Lizard Records do?
    Ryan
    : Big Lizard Records releases CDs and 7-inches from bands that I really dig. Chances are I'm not going to put out a record from a band that I'm not too crazy about. It wouldn't do them or me any good. Aside from that, Big Lizard Records also books and promotes bands - both out of town and local - to play in our wonderful city. Q: Who have you released on your label?
    Ryan
    : I've released Dead Lazlo's Place's " " - their final album. G.F.I.'s "Unspeakable Homemade Hardcore." And a 7-inch just came out from Dead On Point 5 (formerly The Watership Down). Q: So actually on your label's releases right now there aren't any Vegas locals - why do you think that is?

Trace of microscopic algae and aquatic plants are seen in wetlands, streams and rivers.
    Orangutan, a long-haired red ape native to Borneo and northern Sumatra, is one of the most famous among Malaysia's wildlife. Other animals found in this area, is the sun bear, elephant, Proboscis monkey, tiger, slow Loris etc. The rain forest play an important role in the economic and ecological functions of Malaysia. For this natural parks and wildlife sanctuaries are set up. The forests are rich with a variety of plant life and species. Malaysia is god gifted with 15 different types of forests each one of which has a unique composition of species and structural complexity, portraying a unique blend of harmony between the environment, the plants and the animals. The forest are a source of useful products such as timbers, rattans, fruits, vegetables, medicines, spices and ornamentals as well as wildlife habitat. Habitat destruction is posing a great threat to these beautiful forests, resulting in depletion of natural resources. Almost 170 species of flowering plants have become extinct in Malaysia since 1948, due to habitat destruction. Malaysia is struggling to protect other endangered and rare species.

    Endangered Species Worksheet 2 - Forests In a forest, wet and dry places have very different animals and plants. Wet places are usually lower down than dry places because that is where water runs to.
    Go into a forest and find a place that is open - like the top of a hill or ridge. Is this a wet or dry place? See what plants and animals you can find. Draw some of these (near the forest picture). Find somewhere you can sit where you can't see anyone else. Close your eyes and listen to the sound of the forest. Write down what you heard.
    Now walk to a gully or a deep low spot nearby and see what differences you find. Is this a wet or dry place? Draw some of the plants and animals you didn't see in the open area. Listen to the sounds like you did on the hill.
    After the visit to your forest, try these questions. Which of the areas did you find more? (Select Dry or Wet) quiet dry wet cool dry wet shade dry wet tall trees dry wet short trees dry wet thick trees dry wet tall bushes dry wet short bushes dry wet varying bushes dry wet grass dry wet moss dry wet rocks dry wet bare soil dry wet soft soil dry wet wind dry wet large animals dry wet small animals dry wet birds dry wet flying insects dry wet crawling insects dry wet frogs dry wet long leaves on the bushes dry wet leaves on the ground dry wet lizards dry wet You may want to print this out for your records.

    The 2001 work plan is being drawn up The main priority in the work plan will be to build a new centre for breeding in captivity , which will gradually replace that of Antoncojo. All the institutions and organisations involved in the conservation of the lizards agree on the location: the new centre should be located at low altitude around the La Mérica cliffs (Valle Gran Rey) where the micro-climatic conditions and vegetation are as similar as possible to those of the area where the lizards were captured. The Town Council of Valle Gran Rey has already provided its own properties below Quiebranacillas through an agreement with the Canarian Ministry of Regional Planning and the Environment. The facilities necessary for successful implementation of the breeding in captivity programme will be built there in the near future. These will also provide a base for conservation work with the natural population, which is located only a few hundred metres from the future new centre. Cat control and rat elimination in the protected area will continue, as these pose the main threat to the tiny population that has been found. A

    Species at Risk Worldwide
    Canada is working with 145 nations around the world to prevent species from becoming extinct as a result of over-exploitation due to international trade. The Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES) prohibits commercial trade in species which are threatened with extinction and controls and monitors trade in many other species to ensure that trade is at sustainable levels. Appendix I of CITES lists species recognized as threatened with extinction. Trade in these species and any products made from them for primarily commercial purposes is prohibited. Appendix II lists species that are not currently threatened with extinction, but may become so unless trade is strictly regulated to avoid over-exploitation. Appendix III lists species found within the borders of individual Parties who wish to manage international trade in those species.
