The Pointe-Yamachiche conservation site has been designated by the World Wildlife Fund and Nature Québec/UQCN as important for biodiversity. There are a variety of ecosystems: wet meadows, mature forests, open environments, and delta.

The site is well-known to ornithologists. Two-thirds of the 300 species that regularly frequent Quebec are found there. At least a hundred species of birds are observed there each year, some of which are at risk. It is also frequented in the fall by waterfowl hunters and in the winter by ice-fishing enthusiasts.
