The National Wildlife Refuge is located 35 miles (56 km) west of the Tiburon Peninsula of Haiti. The refuge encompasses {{convert|1344|acre|km2}} of land and a 12 nautical mile (22.2 km) radius of marine habitat around the island. Navassa Island features large seabird colonies including over 5,000 nesting red-footed booby (Sula sula). Navassa is home to four endemic lizard species. Two other endemic lizards - Cyclura cornuta onchiopsis and Leiocephalus eremitus, are extinct.[1] Navassa Island NWR is administered as part of the Caribbean Islands National Wildlife complex. Due to hazardous coastal conditions, and for preservation of species habitat, the refuge is closed to the public. See also
