Inagua National Park
Established in 1965, Inagua National Park is located on Great Inagua Island in the Bahamas. Covering an area of 744 square kilometers, it is the largest national park in the Bahamas and the world’s largest breeding and conservation site for flamingos. As early as 1904, the declining population of the flamingo — the national bird of the Bahamas — had already drawn significant attention. In the 1960s, through the efforts of the government and various stakeholders, Inagua National Park was finally established.
The establishment of Inagua National Park reversed the near-extinction status of the flamingo. Thanks to the hard work of the staff, the flamingo population has been steadily increasing. In 1997, the park was also designated as an internationally important wetland reserve, marking a new milestone in flamingo conservation. When flamingos take flight, their graceful dance against the backdrop of the blue sky, clear lake water, and lush greenery creates breathtaking scenes — no wonder visitors call it the best birdwatching paradise in the world.
