Editors’ Remarks

Readers will notice that many of the pages in this issue
are devoted to reports from the 2006 IUCN/SSC

Iguana Specialist Group (ISG) meeting. We’ve done this in
the past (and hope to continue doing so in the future). Our
intent is two-fold: (1) Iguana conservation reflects the her-
itage of IGUANA. As many long-time readers will remem-
ber, the journal began as the Iguana Times (Journal of the
International Iguana Society), focusing entirely on conserva-
tion and natural history of iguanas. Although we expanded
the scope of the journal to all reptiles with volume 12 in
2005 (shortly after the International Reptile Conservation
Foundation became the publisher of IGUANA), the plight
of iguanas continues to serve as a model for the conservation of reptiles and their habitats throughout the
world. (2) The ISG remains a phenomenally active agency for promoting iguana conservation, and the
meetings of that organization effectively chronicle ongoing efforts at habitat preservation, captive breed-
ing and reintroduction and relocation to historically occupied sites, and educational efforts to promote
conservation at the grass roots level. By reprinting the meeting reports, we seek to more widely dissemi-
nate this valuable information.
