Bonaire's nature

Together, we protect the island’s wild heart

Have you ever floated through a coral garden as a sea turtle glides by? Or stood in silence as flamingos lifted off in a cloud of pink from the salt flats? That’s Bonaire at its wildest and its best. A living showcase of biodiversity, where coral reefs, mangroves, salt flats, and dry forests coexist in delicate harmony.

But this natural wonder is under threat. Climate change, pollution, and unchecked development are putting pressure on fragile ecosystems. Our reefs are struggling. Habitats are shrinking. And when nature suffers, so do we. Because a healthy Bonaire starts with a healthy environment.

The good news? We’re fighting back. From the Bonaire National Marine Park to Washington Slagbaai National Park, we’re restoring coral, controlling erosion, and standing guard over what matters most. Because protecting nature isn’t a luxury. It’s survival. For our economy. Our well-being. And our future.
