Ediacara Conservation Park is a protected area located in the Australian state of South Australia about 30 kilometres (19 miles) south west of the town of Leigh Creek in the state’s Far North.[4]

The conservation park was proclaimed under the National Parks and Wildlife Act 1972 in 2007 over land previously declared as a conservation reserve under the Crown Lands Act 1929 in 1993 and as a fossil reserve in 1958.[1][5][6][7][8]

The conservation park protects and conserves an "assemblage of fossilised Ediacaran soft- bodied marine organisms of international importance," "places of significance" to the Adnyamathanha people, "remnants of mining history associated with the Ediacara mineral field," and an "important chenopod habitat."[9]

The name of the conservation park is derived from the Adnyamathanha language name "Ithiaka-na-danha, where Ithi means ‘Zebra Finch’ and aka – na-danha means ‘to come out’" which is used as the name for the area in which the conservation park is located.[10]

The conservation park is classified as an IUCN Category VI protected area.[3] The fossil reserve is also listed on the South Australian Heritage Register.[11]
