According to IPS News (www.ipsnews.net) in a recent article on the biodiversity of islands around the world, stated "In Brazil, most people don't realise that the Fernando de Noronha archipelago, a symbol of natural paradise in the northeast of the country, is threatened by invaders such as goat, mice and other rodents, tegu lizards, cats, creepers and fodder plants."

Hey, if Tegus are a pest, give me permission to export them and lend me a large cargo plane.. I will fix that little issue all the the name of biodiversity! Man, the things I will do to better the world.

Funny what we see as a prized exotic, they see as pest's and to think of the people who want these Tegu's, that have to go through hell and high water to get a hold of one - I can think of a few animals around here which I consider to be pest's - Maybe they would take them in trade
