The site was identified as important in 2015 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
White-crested Guan Penelope pileata	VU	resident	2006	30 individuals	A1
Buff-browed Chachalaca Ortalis superciliaris	LC	resident	2007	30 individuals	A1
Belem Curassow Crax pinima	CR	resident	-	present	A1
Black-winged Trumpeter Psophia obscura	CR	resident	-	present	A1
Eastern Red-necked Araçari Pteroglossus bitorquatus	EN	resident	-	present	A1
Pearly Parakeet Pyrrhura lepida	VU	resident	2007	30 individuals	A1
Golden Parakeet Guaruba guarouba	VU	resident	2006	present	A1

The current IUCN Red List category may differ from that which was valid at the time of IBA criteria assessment (2015).
