Christmas Island National Park
Christmas Island supports a wide range of unique and unusual species and habitats, and although it has been mined for phosphates for much of the past century, most of the natural ecosystem remains intact.
the park contains the last remaining nesting habitat in the world of the endangered Abbott's booby, the only nesting sites in the world of the Christmas Island frigatebird, supports the world's largest remaining robber crab population and probably contains the largest and most diverse land crab community in the world.
