Anderson Inlet (Australia) - BirdLife IBA factsheet

Anderson Inlet

Current view: Data table and detailed info

IBA Justification

The site was identified as important in 2009 because it was regularly supporting significant populations of the species listed below, meeting ('triggering') IBA criteria.

Populations meeting IBA criteria ('trigger species') at the site:

Species	Red List¹	Season	Year(s)	Size	IBA criteria
Red-necked Stint Calidris ruficollis	NT	non-breeding	2000-2006	543-6,390 individuals	A4i
Orange-bellied Parrot Neophema chrysogaster	CR	non-breeding	1998-2006	6 individuals	A1

1. The current IUCN Red List category. The category at the time of the IBA criteria assessment (2009) may differ.

IBA Conservation

Ideally the conservation status of the IBA will have been checked regularly since the site was first identified in 2009. The most recent assessment (2008) is shown below.

IBA conservation assessment
Year of assessment	State	Pressure	Response
2008	not assessed	medium	not assessed

Human intrusions and disturbance	happening now	some of area/population (10-49%)	no or imperceptible deterioration	low
Pollution	happening now	majority/most of area/population (50-90%)	no or imperceptible deterioration	low
