Overview
A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.
Anolis eugenegrahami faces severe threats from habitat destruction due to urban development and agricultural expansion across its limited range in the Dominican Republic. The species is particularly vulnerable to deforestation of its native dry forest habitats, which have been extensively cleared for human settlements and farming activities. Hurricane damage and climate change-induced alterations to precipitation patterns further threaten the remaining fragmented populations of this endemic anole.
Habitat
This species inhabits dry forests and scrubland environments in the Dominican Republic, typically found in areas with dense vegetation cover and rocky outcrops. It prefers semi-arid tropical habitats with scattered trees and shrubs that provide both basking sites and shelter.
