	Round Island - A Success Story
		Round Island, a 151-hectare nature reserve about 20 kilometers off the northern coast of Mauritius, is of exceptional biological importance.
		Until recently, Round Island was threatened by introduced rabbits and goats released in the nineteenth century.
		Unglamorous as it was, the removal of rabbits from Round Island is a highly significant conservation achievement that will greatly aid the survival of some of the world's most endangered species.

		Round Island is an offshore islet (part of a group of six) situated 22.50km off the north coast of Mauritius.
		The ornate day gecko (phelsuma ornata) and the Bouton’s skink (Cryptoblepharus boutoni) are widespread on the islands around Mauritius and on mainland Mauritius.
		The conservation potential of Round Island is huge given its relatively large size, the eradication of introduced mammals, the lack of introduced reptiles and molluscs, the absence of many of the invasive plant species known from Mauritius and the unique remaining flora and fauna.

		Unusually for the genus Phelsuma, the pupil of this gecko is vertically elliptical during the day (6).
		The Round Island day gecko is found on bottle palms, fan palms and Pandanus plants, but due to the destruction of these plants by tropical cyclones and over-grazing by goats and rabbits over the last 150 years, this gecko is also forced to live in lava rock crevices (2) (4).
		The Round Island day gecko feeds on insects and other invertebrates, and is also known to lick pollen, nectar and ripe fruit (2).

		Round Island is therefore the only remaining palm savannah site in the region, despite the fact that the vegetation type once probably covered the entire northern plain of Mauritius (Vaughan & Weihe, 1937), an area now under sugarcane.
		Although the vegetation of the island is degraded, North and Bullock (1986) suggest that some areas retain the potential for rapid recovery when herbivore populations are reduced and regeneration of the bottle palm at least is already apparent.
		Round island is also badly eroded because of the over-grazing and browsing, and there is continued soil erosion (80-90% of the island is now bare rock) and a lack of regeneration (the number of mature bottle palm trees has declined to eight and the number of hurricane palms to two).

		The name 'gecko' probably derives from the calls of these lizards, produced by clicking their broad tongue against the roof of their mouth.
		Day Geckos are from Madagascar, various neighboring island groups, and the coast of East Africa.
		Because it is difficult to teach geckos to drink water from a dish, their enclosure is periodically misted and they take water from the leaves.

	Conservation of geckos
		Currently, the house gecko and night gecko populations are spatially segregated, the five offshore islets inhabited by night geckos have not yet been colonised by the house gecko.
		All three species of the night gecko and the ornate day gecko are smaller or of similar size to the house gecko and are thought to have been subject to or at risk of competitive displacement.
		Even though the day geckos are mostly diurnal and the house gecko is predominantly nocturnal, where they occur in sympatry the day gecko populations are declining.

	Round Island day gecko - Phelsuma guentheri
		This is the only day gecko currently protected under CITES I and hence is not likely to be ever available to private collectors, although zoos have had some success in breeding this species.
		guentheri is unusual in that it is a crepuscular (active by dusk/twilight) and nocturnal rather than diurnal day gecko.
		In keeping with this it is a rather grey-green colour rather than the usual bright green, so in any case is likely to be less appealing to the ordinary day gecko collector.
