The site was identified as important in 2007 because it was regularly supporting significant populations of the species listed below, meeting ('triggering') IBA criteria.

The current IUCN Red List category may differ from that which was valid at the time of IBA criteria assessment (2007).

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	small area/few individuals (<10%)	no or imperceptible deterioration	low
Biological resource use	logging & wood harvesting - unintentional effects: subsistence/small scale	happening now	small area/few individuals (<10%)	slow but significant deterioration	low
Climate change and severe weather	storms and floods	happening now	small area/few individuals (<10%)	slow but significant deterioration	low

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)	No management planning has taken place	Substantive conservation measures are being implemented but these are not comprehensive and are limited by resources and capacity	low
