Support The Nature Conservancy’s work in The Bahamas
Deep Dive |
The Nature Conservancy works in The Bahamas with the government and local partners to protect ecologically rich places for future generations. The Conservancy has been working in two major sites since 1998.
Exuma Cays Land and Sea Park is The Bahamas’ first national park. It is a 176-square mile park with blue tropical waters, coral reefs and forested cays.
Andros Island is the largest island of the Bahamian archipelago. Its land area is greater than that of all the other islands combined. Andros is famous for its outstanding reefs, tropical dry broadleaf forests and Bahamian pine forests that cover nearly 200,000 acres.
