At Cartago Bay on Isabela Island, the population of yellow iguanas faced near-extinction due to invasive species like feral dogs. Thanks to the Galápagos National Park Directorate’s aggressive eradication efforts and an iguana breeding program, over 500 juvenile iguanas were successfully reintroduced by the early 2000s, marking a significant victory for conservation.
