Big Iguana News coming to the IIF from the Disney Worldwide Conservation Fund! The International Iguana Foundation and Kelly Bradley of Fort Worth Zoohave received a $25,000 grant from the Disney Worldwide Conservation Fund for our Anegada Iguana Recovery Program! This grant will specifically help refurbish the iguana headstarting facilities on Anegada, which are in need of repair and upgrades in an effort to get more iguanas back into the wild. Our project was one of 141 projects chosen this year as Disney expands their support aimed at protecting the planet for future generations and inspiring the conservation leaders of tomorrow. We would like to thank everyone at the Disney Worldwide Conservation Fund for supporting our mission to ensure the survival of iguanas and their habitats through conservation and scientific programs in critical ecosystems around the world! disney/conservation The Fort Worth Zoo is an accredited member of the Association of Zoos and Aquariums.
