Great Inagua, unlike any other Bahamian island, is a naturalist paradise where rare birds, reptiles and other wild animals thrive in the thousands. This secluded paradise is a part of The Bahamas National Trust, which has leased 287 square miles of land in the center of Great Inagua Island. The National Trust's greatest accomplishment has been the preservation of the nearly extinct West Indain Flamingo. The largest flock of flamingos in the western hemisphere (80,000) resides in Lake Windsor, the largest lake in The Bahamas.

Programs have been developed to prevent the extinction of the green turtle, white crowned pigeon and the Bahamas parrot. The park is a habitat for a diversity of birds, pelicans, roseate spoonbills, blue herons, West Indian tree ducks, humming birds, the reddish egret, belted kingfisher, barn owl, osprey, Bahamas mocking-bird, sooty tern, Bahamas duck, and more than a hundred other species. Union Creek on the north coast has various types of turtles such as green, loggerhead and hawksbill. Two full time wardens, Mr. Henry Nixon and Mr. Randolph Burrows Jr., can arrange tours of the national park.

Wild animalsroaming the interior of Great Inagua include donkeys and hogs,introduced by the French in 1749 and cows, goats and cats, formerly domesticated animals that have since turned wild. The world's smallest lizard, the spaherodacytlus, is also found in the Inaguas. The National Park on Inagua is a "RAMSAR Wetland of International Importance" site and is designated as an "Important Bird Area" by the Audubon Society.
