We, the John Gray Recyclers pledge our support to the Baby Blue Iguana Sponsorship programme. We believe that the preservation of Cayman's precious heritage is of utmost importance and that we must take action now in order to save the Blue Iguana from extinction.

The message below is from the Blue Iguana Recovery Programme - Urgent Help Needed with Cages for Baby Blues! (Just prior to Hurricane Ivan - September 2004)

This year's precious Blue Iguana eggs are already being collected but there's nowhere to put the babies! Without 100 new hatchling cages, a group of animals currently being headstarted will have to be released prematurely in order to accommodate this year's hatchlings. Such an action would be a devastating setback to the current release plan and strategy.

The cost of having these cages in place at the facility in time for the hatchlings is $7,000. If you can help

Year 11 John Gray Recyclers help Blue Iguanas
pledge their support to protect the Blue Iguanas from extinction

Twenty John Gray Recyclers gave up their lunch break to listen and watch a powerpoint presentation about the Blue Dragon programme and how they could sponsor the Baby Blue Iguanas.
 
Year 11 John Gray Recyclers had already seen this wonderful presentation when Mrs Leslie Bigelman came to tell them all about the Blue Dragon programme two weeks before.  They made a pledge to Dr Mat Cottam, Project Manager at the National Trust to protect the Grand Cayman Blue Iguana from extinction, and then presented him with CI$750.00 towards the sponsorship of "Quincy".  They were told that this would keep Quincy for one year; providing him/her with all the things a young iguana would need.
 
Nikita explained that the Recyclers had decided to call their Baby Blue Quincy because it was the Cayman Islands' Quincentennial Year.
