Editors’ Remarks
The mission of the IRCF is working “to conserve reptiles and
the natural habitats and ecosystems that support them.” This
journal is a part of that effort, but with the additional goal of
educating our readers. Because our readers represent consider-
able diversity, ranging from academic researchers and agency
and zoo professionals to hobbyists, education must be equally
diverse, using various “tools” such as articles presenting new
information about reptiles, ecosystems, and conservation efforts,
and features about people (profiles), places (travelogues), and
ongoing conservation efforts (IRCF on the Move and Focus on
Conservation). In addition, we try to broaden the range of what
we can cover with the inclusion of historical perspectives, book
reviews, short summaries of previously published material
(Conservation Research Reports and Natural History Research
Reports) and “newsbriefs.” Although we frequently receive feed-
back about specific articles or features, we would be most interested in hearing from readers about the
kinds of items they most enjoy and, maybe more importantly, things they would like to see us include in
future issues. Please feel free to contact any of the editors at any time. We’d like to hear from you.

The Giant Montserrat Galliwasp
(Diploglossus montisserrati), featured in a
2006 newsbrief, is one of the most endan-
gered lizards in the world. Threatened by
an active volcano, the species was thought
to be extinct until recently. This is an
example of information that is educational
for all readers of Iguana, regardless of expe-
rience, education, or profession.
