Description
Miguel A Rodríguez-Domínguez and colleagues sum up decades of saving two Canarian giant lizards in a 2026 article. Gallotia simonyi of El Hierro and Gallotia bravoana of La Gomera are both critically endangered. Outdoor breeding centres have run since the 1990s and 2000s, feeding reintroduction attempts at natural sites.
Breeding records from 2006 to 2024 cover eggs laid, incubation practice, and hatchlings raised each year. Both measures differed between the species and across years, while health checks found most animals in good shape. Wild groups survive and releases show partial success, with one islet population of the El Hierro species holding steady.
