Yookamurra Sanctuary, Nature reserve in Murraylands, South Australia.
The Yookamurra Sanctuary encompasses 5,000 hectares of mallee woodlands and shrublands, featuring old-growth trees exceeding 600 years of age.
The sanctuary was established in 1998 and acquired by the Australian Wildlife Conservancy in 2002 to protect endangered native species in South Australia.
The reserve functions as an educational center where students and researchers study conservation methods and native Australian wildlife in their natural environment.
A 1,100-hectare feral-proof fence surrounds the sanctuary, creating a protected zone for endangered species including numbats, bilbies, and southern hairy-nosed wombats.
The sanctuary receives 270 millimeters of rainfall annually, sustaining three distinct habitat types: Eucalyptus shrubland, Sugarwood shrubland, and chenopod shrubland.
