Data Zone
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 |
