Chowilla Game Reserve

South Australia, Australia · built 1993

Chowilla Game Reserve is a protected area covering the floodplain on the north side of the River Murray in South Australia from about 8 kilometres (5.0 miles) north-east of Renmark to the New South Wales border. It was proclaimed 8 April 1993 in conjunction with the Chowilla Regional Reserve, after a community consultation process which recommended that "hunting of waterfowl be a permitted activity in selected areas of the Chowilla floodplain". The game reserve is classified as an IUCN Category VI protected area. The Chowilla floodplain is also protected as part of the Riverland Ramsar site, designated by the Ramsar Convention as a wetland of international importance.
