The site was identified as important in 2001 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 |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
Philippine Duck Anas luzonica | VU | resident | 1990-1999 | present | A1 |
Mindoro Bleeding-heart Gallicolumba platenae | CR | resident | 1990-1999 | present | A1, A2 |
Spotted Imperial-pigeon Ducula carola | VU | resident | 1950-1959 | present | A1 |
Black-hooded Coucal Centropus steerii | CR | resident | 1990-1999 | present | A1, A2 |
Mindoro Hornbill Penelopides mindorensis | EN | resident | 1990-1999 | 20 individuals | A1, A2 |
Scarlet-collared Flowerpecker Dicaeum retrocinctum | VU | resident | 1990-1999 | common | A1, A2 |
The current IUCN Red List category may differ from that which was valid at the time of IBA criteria assessment (2001).
