The site was identified as important in 2000 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
Rock Partridge Alectoris graeca	NT	resident	1996	40-70 breeding pairs	B2
Eurasian Wryneck Jynx torquilla	LC	breeding	1996	20 breeding pairs	B2
Yellow-billed Chough Pyrrhocorax graculus	LC	resident	1996	30-50 breeding pairs	A3
Wallcreeper Tichodroma muraria	LC	resident	1996	present	A3
Rufous-tailed Rock-thrush Monticola saxatilis	LC	breeding	1996	5-25 breeding pairs	B2
Alpine Accentor Prunella collaris	LC	resident	1996	80 breeding pairs	A3
White-winged Snowfinch Montifringilla nivalis	LC	resident	1996	30-60 breeding pairs	A3
Citril Finch Carduelis citrinella	LC	breeding	1996	20-50 breeding pairs	A3

The current IUCN Red List category may differ from that which was valid at the time of IBA criteria assessment (2000).

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) - small-holder grazing, ranching or farming	happening now	some of area/population (10-49%)	no or imperceptible deterioration	low
Biological resource use	hunting & collecting terrestrial animals - intentional use (species being assessed is the target)	happening now	majority/most of area/population (50-90%)	no or imperceptible deterioration	low
Climate change and severe weather	habitat shifting and alteration	likely in long term (beyond 4 years)	whole area/population (>90%)	no or imperceptible deterioration	low
Human intrusions and disturbance	recreational activities	happening now	some of area/population (10-49%)	no or imperceptible deterioration	low
Natural system modifications	other ecosystem modifications	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
Little/none of site covered (<10%)	No management planning has taken place	Very little or no conservation action taking place	negligible
