Bakara Conservation Park, Conservation park in Maggea, South Australia
Bakara Conservation Park encompasses 20.29 square kilometers of mallee scrub within the Murray Mallee region, featuring red mallee trees as predominant vegetation.
The park gained protected status in 1986 after the South Australian Government acquired Section 55 in 1983, with an additional expansion in 2009.
The Department for Environment and Water collaborates with local communities to manage fox and rabbit populations while protecting native malleefowl habitats.
Located along Gold Post Road south of Stott Highway, the park maintains strict nature reserve status under IUCN Category Ia classification.
Ninety bird species inhabit the park, including thirty non-passerines and sixty passerines, with regular sightings of purple-backed fairywrens and chestnut-rumped thornbills.
