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	Current IUCN Red List Category	Season	Year(s)	Population estimate at site	IBA criteria met
Chilean Pigeon Patagioenas araucana	LC	resident	2008	present	A2
Slender-billed Parakeet Enicognathus leptorhynchus	LC	resident	2008	present	A2
Black-throated Huet-huet Pteroptochos tarnii	LC	resident	2008	present	A2
Chucao Tapaculo Scelorchilus rubecula	LC	resident	2008	present	A2
Ochre-flanked Tapaculo Eugralla paradoxa	LC	resident	2008	present	A2

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

State (condition of the trigger species' habitats)
Habitat	Habitat detail	Reference area (ha)	Actual area (ha)	Habitat quantity (% remaining)	Habitat quality (carrying capacity)	Result
Forest		0	0	poor (40-69%)	very poor (< 40%)	very unfavourable
Wetlands (inland)		0	0	moderate (70-90%)	moderate (70-90%)	unfavourable

Pressure (threats to the trigger species and/or their habitats)
Threat level 1	Threat level 2	Timing	Scope	Severity	Result
Agricultural expansion and intensification	annual & perennial non-timber crops - small-holder farming	happening now	small area/few individuals (<10%)	slow but significant deterioration	low
Biological resource use	fishing & harvesting aquatic resources - intentional use: subsistence/sml scale	happening now	majority/most of area/population (50-90%)	slow but significant deterioration	high
Climate change and severe weather	habitat shifting and alteration	happening now	some of area/population (10-49%)	moderate to rapid deterioration	high
Pollution	agricultural & forestry effluents - soil erosion, sedimentation	happening now	whole area/population (>90%)	slow but significant deterioration	high
Residential and commercial development	tourism and recreation areas	happening now	some of area/population (10-49%)	no or imperceptible deterioration	low

Response (conservation actions taken for the trigger species and/or their habitats)
Protected-area designation	Management planning	Other conservation action	Result
Whole area of site (>90%) covered by appropriate conservation designation	A management plan exists but it is out of date or not comprehensive	Some limited conservation initiatives are in place	medium
