History

Gluepot was established by Birds Australia (now BirdLife Australia) in 1997, by purchase, through a public appeal, of Gluepot Station, a pastoral lease with an area of 540 square kilometres (210 square miles) in the semi-arid Murray Mallee region of South Australia. The decision to purchase Gluepot Station, Birds Australia's first reserve, was taken in order to protect its outstanding floral and fauna values, under threat because of an application by the lessee to burn the property to provide grazing for sheep.[ citation needed ]

Birds

Nearly 200 species of birds have been recorded at Gluepot Reserve. These include the nationally threatened malleefowl, regent parrot, red-lored whistler , and black-eared miner. A further 33 species are considered to be regionally threatened. Scarlet-chested parrots are known to have bred on Gluepot in the past, and still visit the reserve. [4]

Conservation

Gluepot Reserve has a protected area status due to being the subject of a native vegetation heritage agreement created under the Native Vegetation Act 1991 (SA) where its owner, BirdLife Australia, has agreed to protect the property's native vegetation in perpetuity. It is classified as an IUCN Category III protected area, [1] and lies within both the Riverland Biosphere Reserve and the Riverland Mallee Important Bird Area. [5] [6] [7]
