4 | Though they are not endemic to Puerto Rico, green iguanas have flourished here due to the absence of natural predators. | Na dia biby tsy mmpiavaka manokana an'i Puerto Rico aza izy ireny, dia nanenika tao noho ny tsy fisian'ny mpandripaka [azy ireny] voajanahary ny igoanà maitso. |
5 | They were introduced to Puerto Rico through the exotic pet trade and today are considered an invasive species, so much so that in a few decades the 4 million strong population now outnumbers the entire population of Puerto Rico. | Nampidirina tao Puerto Rico izy ireny tamin'ny alalan'ny varotra biby [tsy fahitan'ny Eoropeana] fanao an-trano ary heverina ho karazam-biby mpanani-bohitra, maro loatra ka tao anatin'ny taompolo vitsivitsy dia efa nahatratra 4 tapitrisa izay mihoatra noho ny isan'ny mponina iray manontolon'i Puerto Rico amin'izao fotoana izao. |
6 | It is common to see them in trees, mangroves and near the side of the roads. | Mahazatra ny mahita azy ireny eny ambony hazo, alan-konko ary amoron'arabe. |
7 | Known colloquially in Puerto Rico as gallina de palo, which loosely translates to “chicken of the trees”, these herbivores can grow to about 1.5 meters in length, though they can reach lengths of up to 2 meters and can live between 10 to 15 years in the wild. | Fantatra ao Puerto Rico amin'ny anarana mahazatra hoe gallina de palo, izay midika vinaninany hoe “akohon'ny hazo”, dia mirefy tokony ho iray metatra sy sasany ny halavany, fa mety hahatratra hatramin'ny roa metatra sy miaina anelanelan'ny 10 ka hatramin'ny 15 taona eny amin'ny natiora. |
8 | In some countries of Central and South America, green iguanas are part of the local cuisine, which is why they are protected by laws that regulate their hunting. | Any amin'ny firenena sasany any Amerika Afovoany sy Atsimo dia ao anatin'ny nahandro ao an-toerana ny igoanà maitso, ka izay no mahatonga azy ireny ho voaaron'ny lalàna izay mametraka fepetra amin'ny fihazana azy. |
9 | Because they are such a popular part of the diet in some areas and are much sought-after by the exotic pet trade, they are listed in the CITES Appendix II (Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora), which means that, even though they aren't quite considered an endangered species, trade has to be controlled in order to make sure their numbers don't go down too much. | Noho ny lazany amin'ny maha-sakafo fihinana malaza azy ireny amin'ny faritra sasany sy karohin'ny mpivaro-biby fatratra, dia nampidirina ao anatin'ny lisitra CITES Tovana II (Dinan'ny Varotra Iraisampirenena amin'ny Karazam-biby dia sy Karazan-javamaniry dia Ahiana ho Lany Taranaka), izay midika fa na dia tsy azo heverina ho karazana ahiana ho lany taranaka aza izy ireny dia tsy maintsy arahi-maso ny famarotana azy mba ahafahana miantoka fa tsy hihintsana loatra ny isany. |
10 | In Puerto Rico, some people have decided to hunt the iguanas for free in order to help farmers protect their crops. | Ao Puerto Rico, misy olona sasantsasany nanapakevitra ny hihaza igoanà fotsiny amin'izao hanampiana ireo mpamboly hiaro ny voka-pambolena. |
11 | A group called Los iguaneros de Aguada not only hunts them, but also encourages people to try them as food, showing how to prepare and safely cook the meat. | Misy vondrona iray antsoina hoe Los iguaneros de Aguada tsy vitan'ny mihaza azy ireny fa mandrisika ny olona ihany koa hanandrana azy ireny hatao sakafo, ka mampiseho azy ireny ny fomba fahandroana azy. |
12 | Some environmentalists have formed teams of volunteers to help control the population of green iguanas in natural reserves. | Misy indray ireo mpikajy ny tontolo iaianana nanangana ekipam-panolo-tena hifehy ny isan'ny igoanà maitso any amin'ny valan-javaboary. |
13 | Because one female can lay as much as 75 eggs -more than 90% of which will hatch successfully- the best way to do this is to harvest the eggs from the nest, thereby eliminating it altogether. | Noho ny fanatodizan'ny vaviny iray hatramin'ny 75 -ary mihoatra ny 90% no foy- ny fomba tsara indrindra dia ny manapongatra ny atodiny hiala amin'ny akaniny, ka avy amin'izany no hamonoana azy miaraka. |
14 | This short three-and-a-quarter-minute documentary produced by National Geographic shows biologist Rafael Joglar and environmental interpreter Carlos Rodríguez explaining why the green iguana is such a serious problem in Puerto Rico. | Ity lahatsarim-panadihadiana fohy telo minitra sy 45 segondra novokarin'ny National Geographic mampiseho ny biolozista Rafael Joglar sy ny mpihevitra ara-tontolo iainana Carlos Rodríguez no manazava hoe maninona no olana goavana ao Puerto Rico tokoa ny igoanà maitso. |
15 | Carlos Rodríguez sums up the scope of the work that must be done to successfully control the population in the Las cabezas de San Juan Natural Reserve: | Nanaovan'i Carlos Rodríguez tsoakevitra ny sarin'ny asa tsy maintsy vita amim-pahombiazana ifehezana ny mponina ao amin'ny Valanjavaboary Las cabezas de San Juan : |
16 | We've eliminated since the year 2008 to the present approximately 13,000 eggs from the population. | Nandripaka atody 13.000 izahay hatramin'ny taona 2008 ka hatramin'izao. |
17 | That's a big number, but this is something that we're gonna have to do for the next 15, maybe 20 years. | Isa vaventy izany, saingy zavatra tsy maintsy ataontika ao anatin'ny 15, na 20 taona aza angamba. |
