Bonaire
Bonaire, the eastern most of the three Dutch Leeward Antilles, is an island of austere beauty formed from ancient fossilized coral reefs and sits on the lip of a deep ocean trench that separates it from the South American mainland.

You mean three legged!
Bon dia bon siman from this lost juvenile flamingo at Boka Kokolishi. Washington Park Ranger Henry rescued it and returned it safely to the nearest saliña.
What should you do if you see a lost flamingo while at Washington Slagaai Park?
🦩Admire their presence while giving them space so they don't feel threatened and avoid touching them or giving them food.
🦩Call the WSNP rangers so they can rescue the flamingo. 📞 +599 7889015

Congratulations to Ann Sainz-Jones! She's one of the lucky few visitors who won a Nature Fee for being on the first flight from the USA after 15 long months. We collaborated with TCB's awesome initiative to give these visitors a warm welcome. 😄💙
Ann and her husband are in complete awe of our island, it's their first time here, but as she said "it will definitely not be my last." Welcome back, USA friends! 🇺🇸
