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 Editors of IGUANA IRCF International Reptile Conservation Foundation 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.
