The last six specimens have been released on Monte San Antón and Camino de los Almendrales after their care and recovery at the Biodiversity Control Centre, where they were admitted due to different health conditions and the other four were born in captivity in the municipal facilities.

The Biodiversity Control Center cares for and treats injured specimens or those in poor sanitary conditions, to then promote their acclimatization in semi-freedom before their reintroduction into a natural environment.

The selection of the place is determined by taking into account the area of ​​origin of the specimens and the characteristics of the habitat that will host them.

In this case, the aim is to strengthen the existing populations to increase both the number and the diversity and genetic variability of the species.

Technicians from the Common Chameleon Recovery Centre visit the site to assess the suitability of the spaces that could house common chameleon specimens and evaluate potential risks for the species.

All specimens cared for at the Biodiversity Control Centre are provided by the Centre for the Recovery of Endangered Species (CREA) in Malaga and have a clinical record where their treatment is noted.
