The species is abundant and widely distributed; it faces no significant short-term risk.
The Atlantic lizard is the lacertid of the eastern islands of the Canary archipelago: Lanzarote, Fuerteventura, La Graciosa and the Chinijo islets. It is small, brown and speckled, and shows notable variation from island to island. Like the rest of the Gallotia lizards it is omnivorous and plays an important part in dispersing the seeds of Canarian scrub.
