Guess what?

• The Antiguan racer's picture recently appeared on Antigua and Barbuda's EC$50 telephone card.
• 90% of the racer population has been marked with a microchip tag, making it easy to study how quickly they grow and how long they live.
• After two female racers were moved to a new island where there were more lizards to eat, their body mass (weight) trebled in just six months.
• Over a quarter of independent visitors to Great Bird Island find out about the Antiguan racer as a result of the project.
• In the 1999 Whitley Awards for International Nature Conservation, the project came second out of over 60 entries and its Scientific Co-ordinator won the Iris Darnton Award for International Wildlife Conservation, presented by HRH Princess Anne.
• The Antiguan Racer Conservation Project is now being used a model to help conserve endangered reptiles and other wildlife in the rest of the West Indies.
