Inagua National Park is a national park located on the island of Great Inagua in The Bahamas. It was created in 1965 and covers an area of 220,000 acres (890 km).
As early as 1904, people became worried about the number of West Indian flamingos. In the 1960s, the Bahamas National Trust established Inagua National Park, which is now home to the world’s largest group of West Indian flamingos that breed together. Forty years ago, this flamingo species recovered from being very close to extinction to having a group of more than 50,000 birds. The park has helped increase bird populations on nearby islands, including Mayaguana, Acklins, Crooked Island, Cuba, and Andros. In 1997, the park was recognized as a wetland of international importance. It is also called a bird watchers’ paradise because it was designated an Important Bird Area.
The park includes all of Lake Rosa, the largest saltwater lake in the Bahamas.
