#15: Robins Island

Originally purchased by Louis Moore Bacon for family vacations, Robins Island in New York has since evolved into a dual-purpose haven. This picturesque island now doubles as a nature sanctuary, dedicated to protecting the region’s endangered species and preserving its natural habitats.

While still serving as a private retreat for the Bacon family, the island’s conservation efforts ensure that its unique ecosystems thrive. This blend of private leisure and environmental stewardship highlights the importance of balancing human enjoyment with the responsibility of safeguarding vulnerable wildlife.
