The site was identified as important in 1996 because it was regularly supporting significant populations of the species listed below, meeting ('triggering') IBA criteria.
Populations meeting IBA criteria ('trigger species'):The current IUCN Red List category (shown above) may differ from that which was valid at the time of IBA criteria assessment (1996).

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 - agro-industry farming | happening now | some of area/population (10-49%) | very rapid to severe deterioration | high |
Agricultural expansion and intensification | livestock farming and ranching (includes forest grazing) - small-holder grazing, ranching or farming | happening now | majority/most of area/population (50-90%) | moderate to rapid deterioration | high |
Human intrusions and disturbance | work and other activities | happening now | majority/most of area/population (50-90%) | slow but significant deterioration | high |
Invasive and other problematic species and genes | problematic native species/diseases - unspecified species | happening now | some of area/population (10-49%) | slow but significant deterioration | medium |
