The site was identified as important in 2004 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
Bengal Florican Houbaropsis bengalensis	CR	resident	2002	present	A1
Lesser Adjutant Leptoptilos javanicus	VU	resident	2002	present	A1
Pallas's Fish-eagle Haliaeetus leucoryphus	EN	resident	2002	present	A1
Lesser Kestrel Falco naumanni	LC	passage	2002	present	A1
Black-breasted Parrotbill Paradoxornis flavirostris	VU	resident	2002	present	A1, A2
Finn's Weaver Ploceus megarhynchus	EN	resident	2002	present	A1

The current IUCN Red List category may differ from that which was valid at the time of IBA criteria assessment (2004).

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%)	slow but significant deterioration	medium
Biological resource use	gathering terrestrial plants - unintentional effects (species being assessed is not the target)	happening now	some of area/population (10-49%)	slow but significant deterioration	medium
Biological resource use	logging & wood harvesting - unintentional effects: subsistence/small scale	happening now	some of area/population (10-49%)	moderate to rapid deterioration	high
