The Yathong Nature Reserve is a protected nature reserve that is also a nationally and internationally recognized biosphere situated in the central-western region of New South Wales, in eastern Australia. The 107,240-hectare (265,000-acre) reserve was listed by UNESCO in 1977 as a Biosphere Reserve under the Man and the Biosphere Programme (MAB).[2] The reserve is significant for its biodiversity in both native plant and animal species.[3] Cultural heritage and historical grazing activities add to the significance of this site as a conservation area.
The reserve is the most extensive in New South Wales and shares a border with the Nombinnie Nature Reserve in the south-eastern corner, and is part of the Central NSW Mallee Important Bird Area.[3][4]
The reserve is situated 130 kilometres (81 mi) south of the central-west town of Cobar and 656 kilometres (408 mi) west from Sydney.
