Tuatara, a unique reptile native to New Zealand, faces threats from various predators, particularly introduced species. Rats, cats, and dogs pose significant risks to tuatara, especially to their eggs and young. Additionally, habitat destruction and climate change further endanger their populations. Conservation efforts are in place to protect tuatara from these threats.

Humans are affecting tuataras primarily through habitat destruction, introduction of predators such as rats and cats, and climate change. These factors threaten the survival of tuataras by reducing their available habitat, increasing predation pressure, and impacting their ability to regulate body temperature. Conservation efforts are being implemented to mitigate these impacts and ensure the long-term survival of tuataras.
