== Distribution ==
The Christmas Island blue-tailed skink is endemic to [[Christmas Island]].<ref name=":5" /> Until the late 90s1990s, the blue-tailed skink could be found over the whole of Christmas Island. The skinks populationspecies' distribution became more sparse once the crazy [[yellow antscrazy wereant]] was introduced to the island, leading to a decline in the Christmas Island blue-tailed skinksskink's population.<ref name=":1" />
 
In 2009 [[Taronga Conservation Society]] began conservation efforts to save the skink. This led to 300 of the Christmas Island Blue-Tailed Skinks being introduced to a small island called Pulu Blan in the [[Cocos (Keeling) Islands]]. <ref>{{Cite web |title=Saving the Blue-Tailed Skink |url=http://taronga.org.au/media-release/2019-09-12/saving-blue-tailed-skink |access-date=2022-05-31 |website=Saving the Blue-Tailed Skink {{!}} Taronga Conservation Society Australia |language=en}}</ref>
