Lonely Planet review for Iguana Research & Breeding Station

A scientific center that is open to the public, the Iguana Research & Breeding Station is dedicated to studying, protecting and breeding the island’s endangered iguana, known locally as ‘swamper’ or ‘wishiwilly’. Overhunting of eggs and development on the island has led to the iguanas’ near demise. Visitors get a tour of the research station, learn about the species and see lots of wishiwillies. If you’re interested in volunteering, check the website for information.
