Bookmark Biosphere Reserve
- Bookmark Biosphere Reserve
The Bookmark Biosphere Reserve is a 9000 km2 area of land in eastern South Australia, adjoining the states of New South Wales and Victoria. It is one of 12 biosphere reserves in Australia and is part of the World Network of Biosphere Reserves, being officially recognized and listed by UNESCO in 1995. It is composed of several mainly contiguous properties that, although having different ownerships and different management purposes, have the joint aim of identifying approaches to ecologically sustainable development in a low-productivity landscape with many shared land-management problems. It is located in the Murray Mallee and the Riverland with the native vegetation predominantly Mallee woodland and shrubland, but also including wetlands and riverine communities along the Murray River. The flood plains of the reserve are recognised as internationally significant wetlands for migratory birds under the Ramsar Convention. Bookmark is involved in Australia’s national recovery plan for the endangered Black-eared Miner [Lindenmayer, David; & Burgman, Mark A. (2005). "Practical Conservation Biology". CSIRO Publishing: Melbourne. ISBN 0643090894] [Brunckhorst, David J. (2000). "Bioregional Planning: Resource Management Beyond the New Millennium". Routledge. ISBN 9058230465]
Bookmark’s many component properties include conservation reserves, forestry and game reserves, national trust land, pastoral leases and private land. The largest of these are:
* Calperum Station
* Chowilla Regional Reserve
* Danggali Conservation Park
* Gluepot Reserve
* Taylorville Station
