Isla Diego de Almagro


IBA Justification

The site was identified as important in 2010 because it was regularly supporting significant populations of the species listed below, meeting ('triggering') IBA criteria.

Populations meeting IBA criteria ('trigger species'):
Species Red List Category Season Year(s) Population estimate at site IBA criteria met
Black-browed Albatross Thalassarche melanophris LC breeding 2002 15,594 breeding pairs A1, A4ii
A4iii Species group - seabirds n/a breeding 2008 10,000-19,999 breeding pairs A4ii

The current IUCN Red List category (shown above) may differ from that which was valid at the time of IBA criteria assessment (2010).
