Paruku Indigenous Protected Area (IPA) is an Aboriginal Australian-owned 320500 ha

Paruku (Lake Gregory) was declared an Indigenous Protected Area in September 2001. 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.
