The Park is part of the New England Group of the World Heritage Site Gondwana Rainforests of Australia inscribed in 1986 and added to the Australian National Heritage List in 2007.

Cunnawarra is home not only to the imposing eucalyptus trees (which are the tallest in NSW) but also to various endangered wildlife species. Here you can see glossy black cockatoos (Calyptorhynchus lathami), rufous scrub-birds (Atrichornis rufescens), powerful owls (Ninox strenua) and spotted-tailed quolls (Dasyurus maculatus).[2]
