A bounty programme to capture American Iguanas has been launched in Fiji.
American Iguanas, which can grow up to 2m and weigh 9kg, aren't native to the Pacific and cause damage to indigenous ecosystems.
Fijians will receive a reward of about $NZ6 for every adult iguana handed in over the next four months.
The introduced lizard has become established on the Fijian island of Qamea and there are fears it will spread to other islands.
The Biosecurity Authority of Fiji and the nature conservation trust, Nature Fiji, hopes the programme will eradicate the pest.
