Anolis juangundlachi

Unknown

Overview

A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.

Anolis juangundlachi faces severe threats from habitat destruction due to urban development and agricultural expansion across its extremely limited range in Cuba. The species' restricted distribution makes it particularly vulnerable to localized environmental changes and human activities. Invasive species introduction and potential climate change impacts on its specific microhabitat requirements further compound the conservation challenges facing this critically endangered anole.

Threat summary
