We, the John Gray Recyclers, pledge to increase the public's awareness of the importance of the protection
and preservation of the Grand Cayman Blue Iguana. We believe that the preservation of the Cayman Islands' precious heritage
is of utmost importance, and we must all take action now to save these iguanas from extinction.

6 May 2008 - The John Gray Recyclers are deeply saddened
to hear of the senseless killing of six Grand Cayman Blue Iguanas. Our thoughts and prayers are with Fred Burton and
people at the Botanical Gardens having to deal with this shocking cruelty and terrible loss of God's precious creatures! Follow
the Links below to our JGR Blog, Blue Iguana Recovery Website, and the IRCF website, to find out more about this horrific
act of cruelty to beautiful harmless endangered creatures! www.johngrayrecyclers.org/ourblog/
We are deeply saddened because we were with Pedro when
he met Prince Edward last year and in those few hours that we spent with him we learned so much about the Blue Iguanas and
how precious they are! Pedro we will not forget you!
7 May 2008 - Matthias succumbs to his injuries bringing
the death toll of these beautiful endangered creatures to seven! How could anyone be so cruel? Why did someone have
to destroy them during breeding time? This is so sickening and sad!
