ENVIRONMENTAL CONSERVATION
In fulfillment of its policy on conservation of the environment, Nigeria LNG has established a nature park in Bonny Island to preserve the culture and natural environment of its host communities. The site of the Nature Park is the natural habitat of the hippopotami, now rare in Nigeria, and other interesting flora and fauna endemic to Bonny Island.
