The site was identified as important in 2002 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
Green Peafowl Pavo muticus	EN	resident	1998	14 males	A1
Siamese Fireback Lophura diardi	LC	resident	1998	present	A1
White-winged Duck Asarcornis scutulata	EN	resident	1998	1 breeding pairs	A1
Pale-capped Pigeon Columba punicea	VU	resident	1998	1 breeding pairs	A1
Grey-faced Tit-babbler Mixornis kelleyi	LC	resident	1998	present	A2

The current IUCN Red List category may differ from that which was valid at the time of IBA criteria assessment (2002).
