The term "Lacertilia" refers to a suborder of reptiles that includes lizards. While many lizard species are not endangered, some are facing threats due to habitat loss, climate change, and invasive species, leading to declines in their populations. Conservation status varies widely among individual species, with some listed as endangered or vulnerable by organizations such as the IUCN. It's essential to assess specific species to determine their conservation status accurately.
