The site was identified as important in 2023 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 |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
Rusty-margined Guan Penelope superciliaris | NT | resident | 2018 | min 30 individuals | B1a |
White-browed Guan Penelope jacucaca | VU | resident | 2021 | min 30 individuals | A1 |
Turquoise-fronted Amazon Amazona aestiva | NT | resident | 2021 | min 30 individuals | B1a |
Moustached Woodcreeper Xiphocolaptes falcirostris | VU | resident | 2021 | min 30 individuals | A1 |
The current IUCN Red List category may differ from that which was valid at the time of IBA criteria assessment (2023).

---|---|---|---|---|---|
Threat level 1 | Threat level 2 | Timing | Scope | Severity | Result |
Biological resource use | hunting & collecting terrestrial animals - intentional use (species being assessed is the target) | happening now | small area/few individuals (<10%) | slow but significant deterioration | low |
Biological resource use | logging & wood harvesting - intentional use: subsistence/small scale | likely in short term (within 4 years) | small area/few individuals (<10%) | slow but significant deterioration | low |

Protected-area designation | Management planning | Other conservation action | Result |
Whole area of site (>90%) covered by appropriate conservation designation | A comprehensive and appropriate management plan exists that aims to maintain or improve the populations of qualifying bird species | Substantive conservation measures are being implemented but these are not comprehensive and are limited by resources and capacity | high |
