A proud moment for conservation in Jamaica. Imagine this species was thought to be extinct and we now reach this milestone of reach a thousand – at Jamaica
The thousandth Jamaican rock iguana is set to be released into the wild on Saturday, marking a major milestone in the island’s decades-long conservation programme for the critically endangered reptile.

A special big up to Jamaican artist Richard Nattoo (@djsinista1) for the excellent work he is doing to raise awareness about Jamaica’s endemic and threatened species, including the Jamaican iguana and Jamaican flower bat. 🇯🇲🦎🦇
It is encouraging to see artists drawing inspiration from our unique biodiversity and using their creativity to support conservation awareness.
Please check out Richard’s artwork, follow his page, and support his work in whatever way you can. We need more people helping to tell the stories of Jamaica’s wildlife.
Follow @RoostersWorldJA and continue sharing your wildlife observations. Every observation helps!

The beautiful thing about Jamaican Jonkonnu is that we all have different opinions of what it should be. And while Jonkonnu can never be boxed in as one thing, it’s these varying opinions that enrich and deepen the tradition.

The season is just around the corner, now is the time for creators to start thinking about incorporating junkanoo into their content. We can also support Junkanoo groups/bands, invite them to schools and teach the history, if not already, we can also involve EMCVPA
