Parque Pumalin


IBA Justification

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).

Forest 206398 206398 - good (> 90%) favourable

Pressure (threats to the trigger species and/or their habitats)
Threat level 1 Threat level 2 Timing Scope Severity Result
Geological events volcanic eruptions past (and unlikely to return) and no longer limiting some of area/population (10-49%) very rapid to severe deterioration low
Residential and commercial development tourism and recreation areas happening now small area/few individuals (<10%) slow but significant deterioration low
Transportation and service corridors flight paths happening now small area/few individuals (<10%) slow but significant deterioration low
Transportation and service corridors roads and railroads happening now some of area/population (10-49%) slow but significant deterioration medium

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90%) covered by appropriate conservation designation A management plan exists but it is out of date or not comprehensive Substantive conservation measures are being implemented but these are not comprehensive and are limited by resources and capacity medium
