The site was identified as important in 2004 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
Nilgiri Woodpigeon Columba elphinstonii	VU	resident	2004	present	A1, A2, A3
Malabar Grey Hornbill Ocyceros griseus	VU	resident	2004	present	A2, A3
Malabar Parakeet Nicopsitta columboides	LC	resident	2004	present	A2, A3
White-bellied Treepie Dendrocitta leucogastra	LC	resident	2004	present	A2, A3
White-bellied Blue Flycatcher Cyornis pallidipes	LC	resident	2004	present	A2, A3
Crimson-backed Sunbird Leptocoma minima	LC	resident	2004	present	A2, A3

1. The current IUCN Red List category. The category at the time of the IBA criteria assessment (2004) may differ.

Ideally the conservation status of the IBA will have been checked regularly since the site was first identified in 2004. The most recent assessment (2003) is shown below.

Pressure (threats to the trigger species and/or their habitats)
Threat	Timing	Scope	Severity	Result
Natural system modifications	likely in long term (beyond 4 years)	some of area/population (10-49%)	moderate to rapid deterioration	medium
Residential and commercial development	likely in long term (beyond 4 years)	small area/few individuals (<10%)	very rapid to severe deterioration	low
Transportation and service corridors	likely in short term (within 4 years)	small area/few individuals (<10%)	very rapid to severe deterioration	low
Agricultural expansion and intensification	happening now	small area/few individuals (<10%)	moderate to rapid deterioration	low
Invasive and other problematic species and genes	happening now	small area/few individuals (<10%)	slow but significant deterioration	low
Pollution	happening now	small area/few individuals (<10%)	no or imperceptible deterioration	low

Response (conservation actions taken for the trigger species and/or their habitats)
