The Fiji Crested Iguana (Brachylophus vitiensis) is a striking reptile known for its vibrant green color and distinctive crest of spines running along its back. Native to the dry forests of Fiji's smaller islands, this species is critically endangered due to a combination of habitat loss, invasive species, and climate change.
Human activities such as agriculture, deforestation, and development have drastically reduced its natural habitat. Additionally, invasive species like rats, cats, and goats prey on iguanas and compete for resources, further threatening their survival. Climate change exacerbates these issues by altering the delicate balance of their ecosystem. Conservation efforts are crucial to protect the remaining populations and their habitats to prevent the extinction of this unique and beautiful species.
