| Description |
Français : L'iguane vert ou iguane commun, a été introduit en Martinique dans les années 60, lors de l'aménagement du parc zoologique du fort Saint-Louis à Fort-de-France.
C'est une espèce envahissante dont la population est grandissante, ce qui est dommageable à l'iguane des Petites Antilles avec lequel il peut s'hybrider. Ces hybrides sont fertiles et dans ce cas, les caractéristiques génétiques de l’iguane des Petites Antilles finissent par disparaître. Sur la liste rouge de l'UICN (Union internationale pour la conservation de la nature) qui recense les espèces menacées au plan mondial, l'iguane des Petites Antilles figure désormais dans la catégorie « en danger critique d'extinction », soit l'étape précédant l'extinction. A la Martinique, l'iguane des Petites Antilles n’occupe qu’un territoire limité : l'îlet Chancel au Robert et le Nord de l'île (où l'effectif est mal connu).English: The green iguana or common iguana, was introduced in Martinique in the 60s, during the development of the Fort Saint-Louis zoological park in Fort-de-France.
It is an invasive species whose population is growing, which is harmful to the Lesser Antilles iguana with which it can hybridize. These hybrids are fertile and in this case, the genetic characteristics of the Lesser Antilles iguana eventually disappear. On the IUCN (International Union for the Conservation of Nature) Red List, which lists globally threatened species, the Lesser Antilles Iguana is now listed as "critically endangered", the step before extinction. In Martinique, the Lesser Antilles iguana occupies only a limited territory: Islet Chancel in Robert and North of the island (where the number is poorly known).English: The green iguana or common iguana, was introduced in Martinique in the 60s, during the development of the Fort Saint-Louis zoological park in Fort-de-France.
