Show Notes

On a bare limestone outcrop in the eastern Caribbean, a species once written off as nearly lost is clawing its way back. Iguanas Return: A Tiny Islet Becomes a Sanctuary for an Endangered Species follows the high-stakes relocation of the critically endangered Lesser Antillean iguana to Prickly Pear East Cay. Stripped of comfort, safety nets, and guarantees, conservationists gamble on isolation, discipline, and time. What unfolds is not a feel-good nature story, but a tense account of survival under pressure, where heat, storms, and chance carry as much power as human planning.
