[3] From as far back as 1904 there was rising concern about the West Indian flamingo populations.

During the 1960s, the Bahamas National Trust formed the Inagua National Park, which is where the world's largest breeding colony of West Indian flamingoes can be found.

Forty years ago this flamingo species made a comeback from the brink of extinction to a colony of over 50,000 birds.

The park has contributed to increasing bird populations in nearby islands such as Mayaguana, Acklins, Crooked Island, Cuba, and Andros.
