The Camargue is home to more than 400 species of birds and has been identified as an [[Important Bird Area]] (IBA) by [[BirdLife International]].<ref name=bli>{{cite web |url=http://www.birdlife.org |title=Camargue |access-date=2013-08-31 |work=Important Bird Areas factsheet |publisher=BirdLife International |year=2013 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070630122358/http://www.birdlife.org/ |archive-date=30 June 2007 }}</ref> Its brine ponds provide one of the few European habitats for the [[greater flamingo]]. The marshes are also a prime habitat for many species of insects, notably (and notoriously) some of the most ferocious [[mosquito]]s to be found anywhere in France. [[Camargue horse]]s (Camarguais) roam the extensive marshlands, along with [[Camargue cattle]].

The native flora of the Camargue have adapted to the saline conditions. [[Sea lavender]] and [[glasswort]] flourish, along with [[tamarisk]]s and reeds.
