Gomez, the iguana ambassador for Cayo, and Belize, has sadly passed away. He was the alpha male of the Iguana Hatchery for 16 years. The San Ignacio Resort Hotel is renaming their scholarship to the Gomez Scholarship Fund in his honor.
"It is with great sadness the San Ignacio Resort Hotel announces the death of our beloved alpha male Gomez from the Green Iguana Conservation Project. For 16 years, Gomez had been the Star of the educational program and interacted with an approximate of 50,000 visitors from across the globe—instilling admiration in many, turning emotions from fear and hatred to appreciation and care."
