Making a Difference

The San Ignacio Hotel has played an important part in the conservation of the threatened green iguana (Iguana iguana) for over 15 years. An educational exhibit has been constructed on the hotel property to create a closer look at the life of the iguana and to learn how vital they can be to the ecological balance of river habitat. The hotel has an "adopt an iguana program" and the "Iguana Kids Club," winning them both local and international attention. The program attempts to create awareness, educate the public, and release individual reptiles into the wild in an effort to repopulate the riverbanks of Belize.
