It was established by Birds Australia (now BirdLife Australia) in 1997 by the purchase, through a public appeal, of Gluepot Station, a pastoral lease 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 faunal values, under threat because of an application by the lessee to burn the property to provide grazing for sheep. 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 Reserve in the past, and still visit the reserve. Gluepot Reserve has protected area status due being to 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. Gluepot Reserve is classified as an IUCN Category III protected area.[1] Gluepot Reserve is within the extent of both the Riverland Biosphere Reserve and the Riverland Mallee Important Bird Area.[3][4][5]
