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
Caucasian Grouse Lyrurus mlokosiewiczi	NT	resident	1981-2006	1-3 breeding pairs	A3
Egyptian Vulture Neophron percnopterus	EN	resident	1981-1997	1-3 breeding pairs	A1
Yellow-billed Chough Pyrrhocorax graculus	LC	breeding	2006	1	A3
Wallcreeper Tichodroma muraria	LC	resident	1981-2006	2-9 breeding pairs	A3
Alpine Accentor Prunella collaris	LC	breeding	2006	1	A3

The current IUCN Red List category may differ from that which was valid at the time of IBA criteria assessment (2008).
