The site was identified as important in 2006 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
Hook-billed Hermit Glaucis dohrnii	VU	resident	-	present	A1, A2
Golden-tailed Parrotlet Touit surdus	VU	resident	-	30 individuals	A1
Vinaceous-breasted Amazon Amazona vinacea	EN	unknown	-	30 individuals	A1
Red-browed Amazon Amazona rhodocorytha	VU	resident	-	present	A1
Golden-capped Parakeet Aratinga auricapillus	LC	resident	-	30 individuals	A1
Band-tailed Antwren Myrmotherula urosticta	VU	resident	-	present	A1, A2
Black-headed Berryeater Carpornis melanocephala	NT	resident	-	30 individuals	A1
Banded Cotinga Cotinga maculata	CR	resident	-	present	A1, A2
White-winged Cotinga Xipholena atropurpurea	VU	resident	-	present	A1, A2
Atlantic Royal Flycatcher Onychorhynchus swainsoni	VU	resident	-	30 individuals	A1

The current IUCN Red List category may differ from that which was valid at the time of IBA criteria assessment (2006).

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90%) covered by appropriate conservation designation	A management plan exists but it is out of date or not comprehensive	Substantive conservation measures are being implemented but these are not comprehensive and are limited by resources and capacity	medium
