Data Zone
The site was identified as important in 2021 because it was regularly supporting significant populations of the species listed below, meeting ('triggering') IBA criteria.
Populations meeting IBA criteria ('trigger species'):| Species | Current IUCN Red List Category | Season | Year(s) | Population estimate at site | IBA criteria met |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Thick-billed Parrot Rhynchopsitta pachyrhyncha | EN | resident | 2017 | 80 individuals | A1 |
The current IUCN Red List category may differ from that which was valid at the time of IBA criteria assessment (2021).

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Threat level 1 | Threat level 2 | Timing | Scope | Severity | Result |
| Agricultural expansion and intensification | annual & perennial non-timber crops - scale unknown/unrecorded | happening now | whole area/population (>90%) | very rapid to severe deterioration | very high |
| Agricultural expansion and intensification | livestock farming and ranching (includes forest grazing) - small-holder grazing, ranching or farming | happening now | majority/most of area/population (50-90%) | moderate to rapid deterioration | high |
| Biological resource use | hunting & collecting terrestrial animals - intentional use (species being assessed is the target) | happening now | small area/few individuals (<10%) | no or imperceptible deterioration | low |
| Biological resource use | logging & wood harvesting - intentional use: subsistence/small scale | happening now | whole area/population (>90%) | very rapid to severe deterioration | very high |
| Natural system modifications | fire & fire suppression - increase in fire frequency/intensity | happening now | whole area/population (>90%) | very rapid to severe deterioration | very high |
| Response (conservation actions taken for the trigger species and/or their habitats) | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| Protected-area designation | Management planning | Other conservation action | Result |
| Whole area of site (>90%) covered by appropriate conservation designation | A management plan exists but it is out of date or not comprehensive | Substantive conservation measures are being implemented but these are not comprehensive and are limited by resources and capacity | medium |
