Bonaire, a special municipality of the Netherlands in the Caribbean, is renowned for its environmental leadership, particularly in marine conservation with 100% of surrounding waters protected as a national marine park since 1979. Air quality remains stable with no significant pollution sources, while water quality is excellent due to rigorous monitoring and desalination. The island has 22% land protected, including key habitats like Washington Slagbaai National Park. Sustainability efforts focus on renewable energy and waste reduction, though data on recycling and exact renewable percentages is limited. Climate change poses risks with sea level rise of 3-4 mm/year and increased hurricane intensity.
