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'):

White-headed Duck Oxyura leucocephala	EN	winter	2004-2006	20-62 adults	A1
Marbled Teal Marmaronetta angustirostris	NT	passage	2004-2006	20-40 adults	A1

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

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) - nomadic grazing	happening now	some of area/population (10-49%)	moderate to rapid deterioration	high
Biological resource use	fishing & harvesting aquatic resources - intentional use: subsistence/sml scale	happening now	small area/few individuals (<10%)	moderate to rapid deterioration	low
Biological resource use	gathering terrestrial plants - intentional use (species being assessed is the target)	happening now	some of area/population (10-49%)	slow but significant deterioration	medium
Biological resource use	hunting & collecting terrestrial animals - intentional use (species being assessed is the target)	happening now	majority/most of area/population (50-90%)	moderate to rapid deterioration	high
Energy production and mining	mining and quarrying	happening now	small area/few individuals (<10%)	moderate to rapid deterioration	low
Human intrusions and disturbance	recreational activities	likely in short term (within 4 years)	small area/few individuals (<10%)	slow but significant deterioration	low
Pollution	garbage & solid waste	happening now	some of area/population (10-49%)	slow but significant deterioration	medium

Response (conservation actions taken for the trigger species and/or their habitats)
Protected-area designation	Management planning	Other conservation action	Result
Most of site (50-90%) covered (including the most critical parts for important bird species)	A management plan exists but it is out of date or not comprehensive	Substantive conservation measures are being implemented but these are not comprehensive and are limited by resources and capacity	medium
