iguanas don’t<br />
just threaten<br />
our natural<br />
heritage. Due<br />
to <strong>the</strong>ir climbing<br />
habits, <strong>the</strong>y<br />
are also known<br />
to cause damaging<br />
power<br />
outages by<br />
climbing utility<br />
poles and<br />
severe vehicle<br />
damage by<br />
falling out <strong>of</strong><br />
trees. They can also strip agricultural crops and garden<br />
flowers bare, and foul swimming pools with <strong>the</strong>ir waste,<br />
which <strong>the</strong>y tend to release when swimming.<br />
The TCI Department <strong>of</strong> Environment & Coastal<br />
Resources (DECR), <strong>the</strong> Department <strong>of</strong> Agriculture, and<br />
Turks & Caicos National Trust request assistance from<br />
<strong>the</strong> general public for reports <strong>of</strong> sightings <strong>of</strong> invasive<br />
green iguanas in <strong>the</strong> Turks & Caicos <strong>Islands</strong>, especially<br />
Providenciales and Grand Turk.<br />
Invasive green iguanas can now be reported to <strong>the</strong><br />
TCI Iguana Hotline by email at tciiguana@gmail.com or<br />
WhatsApp at +1649 344 8296. Photos and locations <strong>of</strong><br />
sighted green iguanas help our response team find <strong>the</strong>m<br />
