The site was identified as important in 2008 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
Semi-collared Flycatcher Ficedula semitorquata	LC	breeding	2000-2006	30-50 breeding pairs	A1

The current IUCN Red List category may differ from that which was valid at the time of IBA criteria assessment (2008).

State (condition of the trigger species' habitats)
Habitat	Habitat detail	Reference area (ha)	Actual area (ha)	Habitat quantity (% remaining)	Habitat quality (carrying capacity)	Result
Forest		0	0	good (> 90%)	poor (40-69%)	unfavourable
Grassland		0	0	good (> 90%)	poor (40-69%)	unfavourable
Rocky areas (eg. inland cliffs, mountain peaks)		0	0	good (> 90%)	moderate (70-90%)	near favourable

Pressure (threats to the trigger species and/or their habitats)
Threat level 1	Threat level 2	Timing	Scope	Severity	Result
Agricultural expansion and intensification	livestock farming and ranching (includes forest grazing) - agro-industry grazing, ranching or farmin	happening now	small area/few individuals (<10%)	slow but significant deterioration	low
Biological resource use	logging & wood harvesting - unintentional effects: large scale	happening now	some of area/population (10-49%)	slow but significant deterioration	medium
Human intrusions and disturbance	recreational activities	likely in short term (within 4 years)	some of area/population (10-49%)	moderate to rapid deterioration	medium
Natural system modifications	fire & fire suppression - increase in fire frequency/intensity	happening now	small area/few individuals (<10%)	moderate to rapid deterioration	low

Response (conservation actions taken for the trigger species and/or their habitats)
Protected-area designation	Management planning	Other conservation action	Result
Little/none of site covered (<10%)	No management planning has taken place	Very little or no conservation action taking place	negligible
