Inagua National Park

The park spans 183,740 acres of wetlands centered around Lake Rosa, providing essential habitats for numerous bird species and marine life.

Established in 1965, the park emerged from conservation efforts to protect West Indian flamingos, whose population had declined due to hunting in the early 1900s.

Local wardens monitor and protect the flamingo colonies throughout the year, maintaining a traditional connection between residents and wildlife conservation.

Access to the park requires advance arrangements through the Bahamas National Trust, with guided tours available from certified naturalists.

The national park houses 60,000 West Indian flamingos, making it the largest breeding colony of these birds in the Caribbean region.
