Paruku Indigenous Protected Area (IPA) is an Aboriginal Australian-owned 320,500-hectare (1,237 sq mi)

Paruku (Lake Gregory) was declared an Indigenous Protected Area in September 2001.[3] It covers around 430,000 hectares on the borders of the Great Sandy Desert and Tanami bio-regions, south of the township of Halls Creek. The property forms part of Australia's National Reserve System.

Previous land management practices and other anthropogenic pressures had damaged , and many native species have disappeared. Preferred game and important animals are less common and feral animals and weeds pose a major challenge.
