Laguna Cartagena National Wildlife Refuge

The Cabo Rojo National Wildlife Refuge was established in 1974 for its
indispensable and unique value in “carrying out the national migratory bird
management program”. In 1999 the Cabo Rojo Salt Flats, mangrove fringes, and
uplands were added to the refuge for a total of 1,836 acres of land dedicated
to protecting one of the most important shorebird habitats in the Caribbean.

This refuge is one of nine refuges that encompass the Caribbean Islands
National Wildlife Refuge Complex. The Caribbean islands make up one of the
most diverse ecosystems within the United States, Puerto Rico, and the U.S.
Virgin Islands.

These ecosystems provide numerous opportunities to protect and restore
tropical forests, neotropical migratory bird wintering grounds, and habitat
for more than 78 threatened or endangered species. To date, 245 plant species
and 145 bird species have been identified at Cabo Rojo National Wildlife
Refuge.
