It has been identified by BirdLife International as an Important Bird Area (IBA) because it contains habitat for the vulnerable malleefowl as well four bird species restricted to the mallee and south-western biome, the blue-breasted fairywren, rufous treecreeper, western yellow robin and purple-gaped honeyeater.[2]
