The site was identified as important in 2004 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 |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
Sarus Crane Grus antigone | VU | resident | 2004 | present | A1 |
White-rumped Vulture Gyps bengalensis | CR | non-breeding | 2004 | present | A1 |
Indian Vulture Gyps indicus | CR | non-breeding | 2004 | present | A1 |
White-naped Tit Machlolophus nuchalis | VU | resident | 2004 | present | A1 |
Green Avadavat Amandava formosa | VU | resident | 2004 | present | A1 |
The current IUCN Red List category may differ from that which was valid at the time of IBA criteria assessment (2004).
