Overview
Pulu Keeling National Park is one of Australia's smallest national parks at just 1.2 km², protecting the entire North Keeling Island in the remote Cocos (Keeling) Islands. The park preserves near-pristine coral reefs, nesting green turtles, and the world's only population of the endemic Cocos buff-banded rail.
