The United States Pacific Island Wildlife Refuges are a collection of remote islands, atolls, and reefs, in the central Pacific Ocean, managed by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. These refuges include Baker Island, Howland Island, Jarvis Island, Johnston Atoll, Kingman Reef, Midway Atoll, and Palmyra Atoll. These areas are designated as wildlife refuges to protect their unique ecosystems and the diverse species that inhabit them.

These refuges are crucial for the conservation of numerous seabird species, providing nesting and breeding grounds for millions of birds. Notably, Midway Atoll is home to the world's largest population of Laysan albatrosses. The islands also support various marine species, including threatened and endangered sea turtles, and serve as critical habitats for coral reefs and other marine life.

The remoteness and relative isolation of these islands have helped preserve their ecological integrity, making them vital sanctuaries for wildlife. The protected status of these refuges ensures the conservation of their fragile ecosystems, allowing scientific research and monitoring to better understand and protect biodiversity.

Human access to these refuges is highly restricted to minimize disturbances, focusing on conservation efforts and scientific research. The United States Pacific Island Wildlife Refuges play a significant role in preserving the natural heritage and biodiversity of the Pacific region.
