Anzuetoi arboreal alligator lizard Agua, inhabiting cloud forests on the mountain. "A. anzuetoi" is a diurnal tree-dwelling lizard. Dominant males exhibit territorial behaviour. Anzuetoi arboreal alligator lizard Anzueto's arboreal alligator lizard (Abronia anzuetoi ) is a species of lizards in the family Anguidae. The species is endemic to Volcán de Agua in Guatemala. The specific name, "anzuetoi" is in honor of Guatemalan naturalist Roderico Anzueto, who collected the holotype. The extent of occurrence of "A. anzuetoi" is approximately 24 km (9.3 mi), and thus the species is considered Vulnerable by the IUCN. Anthropogenic impact is minimized by the fact that its native habitat has
Habitat the macroalgae present. What was previously a kelp forest becomes an urchin barren that may last for years and this can have a profound effect on the food chain. Removal of the sea urchins, by disease for example, can result in the seaweed returning, with an over-abundance of fast-growing kelp. The protection of habitats is a necessary step in the maintenance of biodiversity because if habitat destruction occurs, the animals and plants reliant on that habitat suffer. Many countries have enacted legislation to protect their wildlife. This may take the form of the setting up of national parks, forest reserves
