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 |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
Egyptian Vulture Neophron percnopterus | EN | breeding | 1998 | 1-4 breeding pairs | B2 |
Eastern Imperial Eagle Aquila heliaca | VU | breeding | 1998 | 2-4 breeding pairs | A1 |
The current IUCN Red List category may differ from that which was valid at the time of IBA criteria assessment (2008).
