It doesn't appear that they are endangered. I researched iguanas found in Puerto Rico (native and introduced) and came up with this: <http://www.iucnredlist.org/search/search.php?freetext=iguana&modifier=phrase&criteria=wholedb&taxa_species=1&redlistCategory%5B%5D=all&country%5B%5D=PR&cty_default=1&cty_intro=1&cty_uncert=1&cty_vagrant=1&aquatic%5B%5D=all&aqu_default=1®ions%5B%5D=all®_default=1&habitats%5B%5D=all&threats%5B%5D=all&redlistAssessyear%5B%5D=all&growths%5B%5D=all>
Likewise, I didn't find any in Bonaire listed as endangered, so I don't feel so guilty about tasting it. :)
