[6] The conservation park is classified as an IUCN Category Ia protected area.

On 30 September 1965, sections 19 and 30 were proclaimed under the Crown Lands Act 1929 as the Peebinga Wildlife Reserve.

[6] Fauna found in the conservation park includes western grey kangaroos and short-beaked echidnas.

[6] The conservation park has been identified by BirdLife International as an Important Bird Area (IBA) because it supports a relatively large population of malleefowl.

It previously had a population of the eastern mallee subspecies of the western whipbird (Psophodes nigrogularis leucogaster), which is now locally extinct.
