Body

Gluepot Reserve is Australia's largest community owned and managed conservation Reserve. Purchased by Birds Australia in July 1997, Gluepot Station was a marginal sheep property. By successfully combining the elements of biodiversity conservation through land management, scientific research and monitoring, environmental education and sustainable ecotourism, Gluepot Reserve has taken conservation management into a new era. The Reserve is providing an international 'model' to show that sustainable use of the landscape is both feasible and desirable. A highly successful program of this size and complexity is unique in Australian land management.
