Year of most recent IBA criteria assessment: 2014

Populations of IBA trigger species

Species	Current IUCN Red List Category	Season	Year(s) of estimate	Population estimate	IBA Criteria Triggered
Pink-footed Goose Anser brachyrhynchus	LC	passage	2004-2013	1,000-2,000 individuals	B1i

Note: This table presents the IBA criteria triggered and the species that triggered then at the time of assessment, the current IUCN Red List category may vary from that which was in place at that time.
