The Southwest Louisiana National Wildlife Refuge Complex consists of four federal wildlife refuges in southwest Louisiana: Cameron Prairie National Wildlife Refuge, Sabine National Wildlife Refuge, Lacassine National Wildlife Refuge, and Shell Keys National Wildlife Refuge. These national wildlife refuges were created to provide support and protection as well as to provide winter habitat for migratory waterfowl.
