The site was identified as internationally important for bird conservation 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 List	Season (year/s of estimate)	Size	IBA criteria
Caspian Snowcock Tetraogallus caspius	LC	resident (-)	150 pairs	A3, B2
Bearded Vulture Gypaetus barbatus	NT	breeding (-)	5 pairs	B2
Yellow-billed Chough Pyrrhocorax graculus	LC	- (-)	present	A3
Wallcreeper Tichodroma muraria	LC	breeding (-)	present	A3
Alpine Accentor Prunella collaris	LC	resident (-)	abundant	A3
White-winged Snowfinch Montifringilla nivalis	LC	resident (-)	abundant	A3

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	few indivi­duals/small area (<10%)	no or slight decline (<1% over 3 gener­ations)	low

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