A reintroduction plan was established in 1999 by the Antiguan Racer Conservation Project, which focussed on the subspecies on Great Bird Island. Since then, the Antiguan Racer Conservation Project has eradicated alien mammals from 12 islands and successfully reintroduced the racer to three islands: Rabbit (1999), Green (2002) and York (2008). At present, there are no individuals of this species in captivity (J. Daltry pers. comm. 2010). Continued conservation management, population monitoring and invasive species control are needed to guarantee the species persistence.
