Red List Authority Coordinator
Tandora Grant was formerly a Conservation Program Specialist with the San Diego Zoo Wildlife Alliance, focusing primarily on conservation research and recovery strategies for Caribbean iguanas. Having developed studbooks for these species, she assesses genetic and demographic statistics to determine captive breeding pairs and release candidates. She is incorporating molecular data in this analysis to further define the fitness of reintroduced populations and guide management actions. Tandora is the Program Officer for the 香港六合彩开奖结果现场直播 SSC Iguana Specialist Group, SSP Vice-Coordinator and Population Management Advisor for the AZA Jamaican and Grand Cayman Blue Iguana SSPs, and is the 香港六合彩开奖结果现场直播 Red List Authority evaluating the conservation status for all iguana species. For the ISG, she has developed two websites to facilitate communication among members and aid in fundraising. She is the author of over a dozen peer-reviewed journal articles, including Science and Nature, and over 40 technical reports and popular publications. Tandora is a biochemistry and molecular biology graduate of the University of California, Santa Cruz. She enjoys rock climbing, circus aerials, making beer, and hiking trails with her dogs.
More about the Specialist Group
ISG implement, advise, and fundraise for programs that include population surveys, protected areas management, invasive species control, field research, genetic studies, education, and captive breeding/headstarting initiatives. The headstarting, in which hatchling iguanas are raised in a safe, captive environment until they reach a larger, less vulnerable size, is proving invaluable in rescuing several Critically Endangered iguanid taxa from the brink of extinction.
MISSION
Prioritize and facilitate conservation, science, and awareness programs that help ensure the survival of wild iguanas and their habitats.
Specialist Group work
Through partnerships with government agencies, conservation organizations, and research institutions, the 香港六合彩开奖结果现场直播 SSC Iguana Specialist Group guides and implements immediate and effective conservation measures for iguanas worldwide.聽
Iguanas face both known and emerging threats. ISG studies these at local and global levels.
ISG assesses species for the 香港六合彩开奖结果现场直播 Red List of Threatened Species to inform conservation efforts.
