\"\"There are a number of National parks and\u00a0reserves on the island. Our World Heritage Site, the 17,000 acre Morne Trois Pitons National Park contains perhaps the majority of Dominica’s above-water famous sights – several crater lakes and waterfalls, including the Emerald Pool.<\/p>\n

The Northern Forest Reserve is another fine example of oceanic rainforest and is also famous as the home of Dominica’s national bird, the rare Sisserou Parrot.<\/p>\n

The Cabrits National Park, just north of Portsmouth, is home to the restored Fort Shirley. It is also a marine reserve, as is the area around Scott’s Head\/Soufriere at the south-western tip of the island.<\/p>\n
