Binoh (British Indian Ocean Territory)

Binoh is a small coral atoll located in the British Indian Ocean Territory, a British Overseas Territory. It consists of a lagoon surrounded by a ring of coral reefs and is part of a larger group of islands including the more well-known Diego Garcia. Binoh is uninhabited and primarily features pristine marine environments, making it significant for biodiversity, especially nesting seabirds and marine life. Its remote location and ecological importance contribute to ongoing conservation efforts, and it remains largely undisturbed by human activity, serving as a valuable site for scientific research and environmental protection.
