Abstract
In this paper is described a comparison between the composition and the state of conservation of three families of the sub order Sauria of the most western part of the Reserve of Biosphere Peninsula of Guanahacabibes (Cabo San Antonio, in areas of more than 30 years without forest management and a surface with a forest management approximately of 2 to 5 years, during the dry season. The method of itinerary census is used and ecological indicators are evaluated such as: richness of species, relative abundance, sustrato type, illumination exposure, among others. The dominant species in numerical terms was Anolis quadriocellifer, endemic of the locality.
