The pink iguana is one of the rarest reptiles on Earth and lives only on Wolf Volcano in the Galápagos Islands. Scientists are working to understand how many pink iguanas exist, where they live, and whether the species is successfully reproducing. The iguanas face major threats from introduced predators like feral cats and black rats.

Researchers have placed 70 motion-activated cameras around the volcano that capture photos of pink iguanas, yellow land iguanas, giant tortoises, cats, rats, and other wildlife. The research team needs help reviewing thousands of images.

As a volunteer, you will:

• 
  

  Look through real wildlife photos from Wolf Volcano

  
  


• 
  

  Identify what appears in each image (pink iguana, yellow iguana, tortoise, cat, rat, other wildlife, or empty)

  
  


• 
  

  Help scientists locate nesting sites and look for young pink iguanas

  
  


• 
  

  Contribute to tracking predator activity and wildlife patterns

  
  

Your classifications help researchers understand how this critically endangered species is doing and what actions are needed to protect it. Students can make a genuine impact on conservation—no travel required.

By participating, you join the conservation team working to protect the pink iguana and support the Galápagos National Park in making informed decisions to save this species.
