Parma / Jervis Bay links provides a link between the famous Jervis Bay National Park and the inland escarpment forests, important for the viability of populations of plants and animals in the Jervis Bay National Park. It includes parts of Tomerang, Currambene and Yerriyong State Forests, a large area of vacant crown land around Parma Creek, and small areas of vacant crown land near Huskisson on the coast.

Jervis Bay National Park has 43 species of mammals, 207 species of birds, 17 species of amphibians and 29 species of reptiles. It includes a diversity of plant communities, including the largest remaining area of coastal heath between Sydney and Eden, and at least 6 nationally rare species of plants.

The proposed additions to these two national parks to provide the links (or wildlife corridors) includes habitat for many threatened species, including the Brush-tailed Rock Wallaby, Glossy-black Cockatoo, Sooty Owl, Southern Brown Bandicoot, and the White-footed Dunnart. Nine threatened plant species occur between Jervis Bay National Park and Morton National Park, including the Leek Orchid, Pouched Greenhood and Nowra Heath Myrtle.

Parma / Jervis Bay links covers 9,680 ha, including 7,886 ha of vacant crown land and 1,794 ha of state forest.

The great majority of the vacant Crown land is a long-standing Parma Nature Reserve proposal which has been strongly supported by local conservation groups and the National Parks Association. In recent years, community consultation on land planning in the Shoalhaven Shire has formally identified links between the proposed Parma Nature Reserve and Jervis Bay National Park through a combination of private land, State Forest and Crown land. The National Parks and Wildlife Service referenced the Parma Creek area to become a Nature Reserve in 1988.
