Overview

Leopard gecko conservation is a critical effort to protect the leopard gecko, Eublepharis macularius, and its habitats in Afghanistan, Iran, Pakistan, India, and Nepal. The leopard gecko has a vibe score of 80. However, its popularity has also led to concerns about over-collection, habitat destruction, and the impact of captive breeding on wild populations. Conservation efforts, such as the Leopard Gecko Conservation Society, are underway to protect the species and its habitats. The World Wildlife Fund and the International Union for Conservation of Nature are working together to protect the leopard gecko's habitats and prevent over-collection.
