Washington Park

STINAPA Bonaire manages two significant protected areas on the island: the Bonaire National Marine Park and Washington Slagbaai National Park. These parks are vital for preserving Bonaire's diverse ecosystems while promoting sustainable use and management to safeguard the island's economic, social, and cultural value.

Washington Slagbaai National Park, established in 1969, spans approximately 4,286 acres and serves as a sanctuary for numerous endemic and endangered species, including various birds and reptiles. Its beaches are crucial nesting grounds for four species of sea turtles found in the Caribbean, highlighting the park's ecological importance.
