Île Bonaventure is a Canary Island that stretches over an area of just 4.16 km².
The island was made a bird sanctuary for migratory birds between the United States and Canada as a result of the Migratory Bird Convention in 1919.
Since 1985, the island has also been part of the National Park.
The island is a popular destination for tourists who can take boat trips and island excursions. With over 280000 birds, the island is one of the largest bird retreats in the world. Around 293 species of birds were observed on the island, either living there, settling there or just "passing through".
With over 30000 gannets nesting there each year, the island has the second largest gannet population in the world.
