Species	Red List1	Season	Year(s)	Size	IBA criteria
Caspian Snowcock Tetraogallus caspius	LC	resident	-	150 breeding pairs	A3, B2
Bearded Vulture Gypaetus barbatus	NT	breeding	-	5 breeding pairs	B2

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 (2013) is shown below.

Pressure (threats to the trigger species and/or their habitats)
Threat	Timing	Scope	Severity	Result
Residential and commercial development	happening now	small area/few individuals (<10%)	no or imperceptible deterioration	low

Response (conservation actions taken for the trigger species and/or their habitats)
Protected areas	Management plan	Other action	Result
Not assessed	Not assessed	Not assessed	not assessed

Year	Protected Area	Designation	% overlap with IBA
2004	Agri Mountain	National Park	80
