The Taronga Wildlife Hospital is providing veterinary support to the National Trust for Fiji to implement the IUCN Fijian Crested Iguana Recovery Plan. This project involves the translocation of 80 to 100 critically endangered Fijian Crested Iguanas from Yadua Taba to Namenalala to ensure a second colony will be secure from any single catastrophic event, such as disease or natural disaster. This project ensures veterinary screening and health evaluations required to meet the IUCN Guidelines for Reintroductions (1998).
