Cyclura cornuta
Several species of iguanas are considered endangered, including the Cyclura cornuta (Rhinoceros iguana), Cyclura lewisi (Bahamian rock iguana), and Cyclura nubila (Cuban iguana). Habitat loss, invasive species, and poaching are significant threats to their survival. Conservation efforts are underway to protect these species, focusing on habitat restoration and breeding programs.
The accepted scientific name is Pyroderces rileyi.

As of the latest estimates, there are about 1,500 Mona ground iguanas (Cyclura cornuta) left in the wild, primarily found on the island of Mona in the Caribbean. Conservation efforts are ongoing to protect their habitat and increase their population, as they are classified as endangered due to habitat destruction and predation by introduced species. The exact number can vary, so it's essential to refer to recent conservation reports for the most current data.
