The collared iguana has not yet been assessed by the IUCN and therefore it is not clear whether this species is threatened with extinction, and if so, what threats it faces. However, the forests of Madagascar face a number of threats which may be impacting on this iguana; this includes the burning of forests for the expansion of agricultural lands and the exploitation of trees for timber and charcoal (8).
There are no known conservation measures currently in place for the collared iguana.
