The site was identified as internationally important for bird conservation 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 List	Season (year/s of estimate)	Size	IBA criteria
White-crested Guan Penelope pileata	VU	resident (2008)	30 birds	A1
Crested Eagle Morphnus guianensis	NT	resident (2000)	30 birds	A1
Hyacinth Macaw Anodorhynchus hyacinthinus	VU	resident (2007)	present	A1

Peruvian Recurvebill Syndactyla ucayalae	LC	resident (1990)	90 birds	A1
Chestnut-throated Spinetail Synallaxis cherriei	LC	resident (2008)	90 birds	A1

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.

Pressure (threats to the trigger species and/or their habitats)
Threat	Timing	Scope	Severity	Result
Natural system modifications	happe­ning now	some of popul­ation/area (10–49%)	moderate decline (10–30% over 3 gener­ations)	high
